solon

From the time of Solon the Attic months were lunar, composed alternately of 30 and 29 days.

Solon, it is well known, travelled to the court of Croesus, and it is affirmed that Pythagoras visited India.

Solon, in his laws, is silent with regard to the education of girls, though he gave very precise regulations for that of boys.

Next to this tradition, and nearly coeval with it, but reported by later authority, is that respecting Solon and Athens.

He was the Draco of his time, because his time seemed to him as yet unworthy to possess a Solon, neither capable of receiving him.
