Abstract
At the beginning of the 6th century B.C., the Athenian Solon sang an elegy in whicheunomia is central, and unlike Tyrteus' poem on this theme, the work has been preserved. This lesson analyzes this poetic piece systematically, highlighting the powerful work on the earlier poetic tradition to which it bears witness. The aim is to identify, without preconceived ideas, how Solon's relationship with the gods and the political arena in which he designed his actions are interwoven, and to question the conventional view of his work as a transition from customary to written law, from a transcendent to an immanent norm, from the authority of the gods to that of men in these matters.
