The End of Solon

The people were not picky about how many club men Pisistratus had, and he got an army! He took over, and Solon chided them for giving up so easily, and than gave up because they would not listen. I think that was right; how can you help someone who won't listen? He wrote poems that chided the Athenians. Pisistratus did not kill Solon, but honored him and kept many of Solon's laws. Plutarch does not say how or when Solon died.

The End
