Departing from an anecdote related by Plutarch, in The life of Solon, in which the Athenian legislator is mentioned in relation with Thespis, the “inventor” of the tragic genre, I intend to make some considerations about the status of poetic representation within Solon’s thought. Towards this objective, I will employ the main sources to this period, as well as some secondary sources (Pickard-Cambridge, Gerald Else and Jacyntho Lins Brandão, for example), in order to indicate how some of Solon’s reflections may have been determinant to the future developments of the Hellenic Poetics, as, for example, in Plato’s work. |
