Remarks on the Athenian Government from Draco to Marathon
The narrative surveys early Athenian law and reform, from Draco’s harsh code to Solon’s magistracy, and the ensuing shifts toward democracy. It details the clash between aristocratic wealth and popular power, Solon’s reforms, later tyranny, and the oscillation between liberty and control before the rise and exile of Hippias and the Persian interlude.
