The Archaic Greek era, between the better known Homeric and Classical periods, was a time of unstable change, vast discovery, and great transformation. . . Empires were rising and falling, governments were evolving, Mediterranean connections were increasing with maritime activity, and the Hellenic city-states were competing for power, wealth and renown. . . Solon, a real Athenian mentioned by ancient historians, plays a very important part in the rise of his native city, but first he must gain political and military experience both at home and abroad. . . In time, from voyages, travels, friendships, conversations, battles, reflections, conflicts, marriages, and diplomacy, he discovers that his personal destiny is tied not only to the fate of Athens, but also to the world around him and to history itself. Insights into culture, mythology, politics, geopolitics, philosophy, and more, unite together in this biographical novelistic narrative. . . Written in a unique style, this story of Solon's life, adventures and times will suit not only readers familiar with ancient Greece, but also those who long to understand the great transformations of the current times. A surprising amount that is happening today, 250 years after the Declaration of Independence, parallels events that took place 2600 years ago, during the very rise of Greek and Western Civilization.
