| Sumario: | This book examines the meaning of justice or ""dike"" in the political poems of Solon from a new interpretative perspective. The first two chapters argue that neither standard historical nor literary treatments have provided an adequate foundation for understanding Solon's ""dike"". The main defect lies in an inability to connect Solon's concrete political work with his poetic perceptions.
