Solon was the son of Execestides and his
family was of Salamis in Attica; and in wisdom and learning he surpassed all the men of his time.The following fragments on the Seven Wise Men may be compared
with the fuller accounts in Diogenes Laertius (tr. by Hicks in the
L.C.L.). Being by nature far superior as regards virtue to the rest of
men, he cultivated assiduously a virtue that wins applause; for he devoted much time to every
branch of knowledge and became practised in every kind of virtue. While still a youth, for instance, he availed himself of the best teachers, and when he
attained to manhood he spent his time in the company of the men who enjoyed the greatest
influence for their pursuit of wisdom. As a consequence, by reason of his companionship and
association with men of this kind, he came to be called one of the Seven Wise Men and won for
himself the highest rank in sagacity, not only among the men just mentioned, but also among a

Servius Tullius, on the occasion of the
uprising of Tarquinius,Tarquinius Superbus; cp. Livy 1.47 f.; Dionysius Hal. 4.38. The
traditional date is 535 B.C. came into the Senate, and when
he saw the extent of the intrigue against him, he did no more than to say, "What presumption, O
Tarquinius, is this?" Tarquinius replied, "Nay, what presumption is yours, who, though slave
and son of a slave, have presumed to rule as king over the Romans, and who, although the
leadership my father had belongs to me, have illegally taken from me the rule to which you in
no single respect have a claim?" With these words he rushed at Tullius, and seizing him by the
arm he hurled him down the steps.According to the account
of Dionysius, these were the steps of the Senate chamber which led down into the Forum.
Tullius picked himself up and, limping from the fall, endeavoured to flee, but was put to
death.Const. Exc. 4, p. 293.

[And last of all, many generations
later, the people of the Siceli crossed over in a body from Italy into Sicily and made their home in
the land which had been abandoned by the Sicani. And since the Siceli steadily grew more
avaricious and kept ravaging the land which bordered on theirs, frequent wars arose between
them and the Sicani, until at last they struck covenants and set up boundaries of their
territory, upon which they had agreed. With regard to these matters we shall give a detailed
account in connection with the appropriate period of time.]Diod.

480 B.C.The preceding Book, which is the tenth of our narrative, closed with the events of the
year just before the crossing of Xerxes into Europe
and the formal deliberations which the general assembly of the Greeks held in Corinth on the alliance between Gelon and the Greeks; and in

Athenians against Cyprus under the leadership of
Cimon.That is, the Book covers the years 480-451 B.C.
