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.

ReplyDeleteNo wonder why Indian engineeres are the best of the world. I have dealt with them every time I have worked with an "American" company. They are simply the best. I guess neither American nor British schools have this kind of sofistication. I still don't like the hijabs, though.
