Solon therefore seems to have laid down these enactments of a popular nature in his laws; while before his legislation his democratic reform was his cancellation of debts, and afterwards his raising the standard of the measures and weights and of the coinage.
For it was in his time that the measures were made larger than those of Pheidon,King of Argos, probably early 7th century B.C., see Aristot. Pol. 1310b 26. His standard of coinage and weights and measures came to prevail through most of Greece. and that the mina, which previously had a weight of seventy drachmae,i.e. seventy of the new drachmae; the drachma coin was also enlarged, so that seventy of the new equalled one hundred of the old; and see note on 4.1. was increased to the full hundred. The ancient coin-type was the two-drachma piece. Solon also instituted weights corresponding to the currency, the talent weighing sixty-three minae, and a fraction proportionate to the additional three minae was ad

Yet there seem to be some acts which a man cannot be compelled to
do,i.e., some acts are so repulsive that a man's
abhorrence of them must be stronger than any pressure that can be put on him to commit
them; so that if he commits them he must be held to have chosen to do so. and
rather than do them he ought to submit to the most terrible death: for instance, we think
it ridiculous that Alcmaeon in Euripides' playIn a
play now lost, Eriphyle was bribed with a necklace to induce her husband Amphiaraus,
king of Argos, to join the expedition of the
Seven against Thebes. Foreseeing he would lose
his life, he charged his sons to avenge his death upon their mother, invoking on them
famine and childlessness if they disobeyed. The verse in question is preserved: ma/lista me\n m' e)ph=r' e)piskh/yas path/r. Alcmaeon, fr. 69
(Nauck). is compelled by certain threats to murder his mother!
one of which often grows without its being noticed, as for
example the number of the poor in democracies and constitutional states.
And sometimes this is also
brought about by accidental occurrences, as for instance at Tarentum when a great many notables were
defeated and killed by the Iapygians a short time after the Persian wars a
constitutional government was changed to a democracy, and at Argos when those in the seventh tribeThe word to be understood here may be fulh=|, or possibly h(me/ra|: the seventh day of the month was sacred to Apollo,
especially at Sparta, and one
account assigns Cleomenes' victory to that day, in which case the casualties
may well have been known afterwards as ‘those who fell on the
seventh.’ had been destroyed by the Spartan Cleomenes the
citizens were compelled to admit some of the surrounding people, and at
Athens when they suffered
disasters by land the notables became fewer because at t
