英语词汇solon的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

solon. “I grow old ever learning many things,” wrote the sage Solon in the often quoted line. The wise statesman and lawgiver lived some 82 years before he left Athens in about 590 b.c. and died, according to tradition, while wandering somewhere in the East. One of the Seven Sages of Greece, his motto was “Know thyself.” Solon initiated many legal and social reforms, including a new constitution for Athens that revived the popu- lar assembly at a time when tension between the rich and poor had reached the breaking point. His love poems and patriotic verse were well known, but the proverbial remark “Call no man happy till he is dead” was probably not his, though attributed to him. Elected archon, officer of the state, in 594 b.c., Solon insti- tuted reforms that laid the foundation for Athenian democracy. His name has come to mean any lawmaker, not necessarily a wise one, solon sometimes being used because it takes up less space in headlines and newspaper stories than representative or congressman.
