Abstract

"The authors present a new edition of all fragments of the laws of Draco and Solon with the original Greek and Latin texts, a German translation, and a detailed commentary as well as a historical classification. This allows for a fundamentally new historical assessment of the legislatures of Draco and Solon and their legislation, and a more accurate grasp of the political, economic and social problems in Athens during this period. The edition enables a new perspective on the writing phase of ancient law in the late 7th and early 6th centuries BC: as an answer to urgent problems. It covers homicide laws and the establishment of tyranny, regulations governing eligibility for political office, procedural law and legitimate autonomy, the calendar of victims and religious offences, cowardice in the face of the enemy, sexual offenses, acts of violence, theft and insults, contract law, and family law. The legal fragments are also of central importance for the law of obligations in the Solonian period"--Publisher's description.

Abstract

"Solon (c 658-558 BC) is famous as both statesman and poet but also, and above all, as the paramount lawmaker of ancient Athens. Though his works survive only in fragments, we know from the writings of Herodotus and Plutarch that his constitutional reforms against the venality, greed and political power-play of Attica's tyrants and noblemen were hugely influential - and may even be said to have laid the foundations of western democracy. Solon's legal injunctions covered the widest range of topics and issues: economics and labour; sexual morality; social issues; and society and politics. Yet despite their fame and influence (and Solon's life and work generated a lively reception history), no complete edition of these writings has yet been published. This book offers the definitive critical edition of Solon's laws that has long been needed. It comprises the original Greek fragments with English translations, commentaries, a comprehensive introduction and important comparative Latin texts. It will be enthusiastically welcomed by specialists in ancient Greek language and history."--Publisher's website.
