THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
"I believe I may have wasted my life."
"While it would be true to say I have not yet succeeded, it is not untrue to say that I have completely failed to write a published novel, as long as this MS exists. Post mortem publication is also publication. One lives and dies in hope."
