University of Florida Thesis Or Dissertation Formatting SOLON THE POET, SOLON THE LAWGIVER, SOLON THE SAGE: THE INTERSECTING LEGENDS OF SOLON OF ATHENS By ANDREW PERRY CLARK A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 1 © 2018 Andrew Perry Clark 2 misero indigne fratri adempto mihi 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank my dissertation advisor Robert Wagman for his unlimited patience and invaluable guidance through every stage of this project. I am especially thankful for the instruction and insight he provided in a Greek lyric seminar in the fall of 2014, without which I might never have been awakened to the humble enigma that is Solon. I am also greatly indebted to Konstantinos Kapparis, who with great tolerance never failed to answer a single one of my many questions throughout this arduous process. Additionally, I would like to thank the remaining members of my committee Mary Ann Eaverly and Lora Levett, whose patience and support have always been much needed and greatly appreciated. I give further thanks to the other members of the Classics department, in particular Eleni Bozia, Andy Nichols, Jennifer Rea, and formerly Jim Marks, who have all over the years encouraged and contributed in countless ways to my professional development. On a personal note, I must also thank my wonderful cats, Yoshie and Alphie, who have kept me company for years and have never been out of reach throughout the many long and sleepless nights of work. I am extremely grateful for the support of my friends and family, especially my late brother Paul, who taught me how to read. I lastly wish to thank my dearest love Karen for all of her support and encouragement as I worked on a project that threatened to defeat me many times over. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  • The Roles of Solon in Plato's Dialogues
    The Roles of Solon in Plato’s Dialogues Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Samuel Ortencio Flores, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Bruce Heiden, Advisor Anthony Kaldellis Richard Fletcher Greg Anderson Copyrighy by Samuel Ortencio Flores 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a study of Plato’s use and adaptation of an earlier model and tradition of wisdom based on the thought and legacy of the sixth-century archon, legislator, and poet Solon. Solon is cited and/or quoted thirty-four times in Plato’s dialogues, and alluded to many more times. My study shows that these references and allusions have deeper meaning when contextualized within the reception of Solon in the classical period. For Plato, Solon is a rhetorically powerful figure in advancing the relatively new practice of philosophy in Athens. While Solon himself did not adequately establish justice in the city, his legacy provided a model upon which Platonic philosophy could improve. Chapter One surveys the passing references to Solon in the dialogues as an introduction to my chapters on the dialogues in which Solon is a very prominent figure, Timaeus- Critias, Republic, and Laws. Chapter Two examines Critias’ use of his ancestor Solon to establish his own philosophic credentials. Chapter Three suggests that Socrates re- appropriates the aims and themes of Solon’s political poetry for Socratic philosophy. Chapter Four suggests that Solon provides a legislative model which Plato reconstructs in the Laws for the philosopher to supplant the role of legislator in Greek thought.

  • The Legend of Atlantis
    The Legend of AtlanTis Mysterious World modified by Father Sergio 02.08.2009 PArT i: AtlanTis in hisTory Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are never anything but children, and there is not an old “O man among you." Thus began the speech by an unnamed Egyptian priest in the Timeaus1, one of only two known dialogues of Plato that mention Atlantis. Together, along with the Criteas2, these works comprise the only records of Atlantis handed down to us from antiquity. In his ensuing speech on Atlantis and ancient Athens, the priest was to rebuke Solon, and all of the Greeks, for having forgotten their own history, particularly the epic story of how valiant Athens had once defeated mighty Atlantis in ancient times and saved the world from slavery. Plato, the greatest of Greek philosophers, 427-347 BC In the Timeaus, Solon was to learn how little he truly knew, not only of the history of his own people, but of the history of Egypt, and of the world. Atlantis in Greek History Plato's Timaeus relates the true story of how one Solon (638- 559 BC), a famous "Athenian traveler, poet, and lawgiver"3 was visiting the Temple of Neithe, in the district of Sais, near the Nile Delta in lower Egypt. He had gone there as a cultural ambassador to converse with the leaders of the Egyptians about Greek history and culture, seeking to An Egyptian priest. impress them with the accomplishments of the Greeks, as well as to gain similar knowledge from them about the history of Egypt, and of the world.
