Solon was an ancient Greek statesman and lawmaker known for his pivotal reforms that laid the foundation for Athenian democracy. As the archon of Athens in the 6th century BCE, Solon introduced measures to address economic inequality, promote political participation, and establish the rule of law. His efforts to balance the interests of different social classes and create a more just society have earned him recognition as one of the founding fathers of democracy.
