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.
@WillardFoxton Erm, you might want to rewrite that with a hyphen in '600-odd'. Otherwise you're just calling them odd.

@WillardFoxton I wouldn't have mentioned it, except because it was about war deaths I thought people might take offence!
