| Summary | "Πλουτάρχου Βίοι Παράλληλοι - Τόμος 2" by Plutarch is a historical account written in the 19th century. This volume explores the lives of notable figures from ancient Greece, focusing on their accomplishments, philosophies, and the socio-political context of their times. The text likely delves into the notable life of Solon, a renowned statesman and poet, compared to other figures such as Poplicola and Themistocles, offering insights into their characters and contributions to history. At the start of the narrative, Plutarch introduces Solon, discussing his background and the different accounts regarding his lineage. The text highlights Solon's early engagement in commerce not out of a desire for wealth, but to gain knowledge and experience. It also portrays his philosophical outlook on wealth and virtue, suggesting that while he appreciated financial success, he valued moral character above all. Additionally, Plutarch alludes to Solon’s political actions, including his significant role in Athenian governance and his efforts to resolve class tensions within the city.
