La Stasis in Solone: per un'analisi storico-sociale del fr. 4 West (3 Gentili - Prato)

This paper explores the concept of στάσις within the Solonian corpus. Taking my cue from Noussia-Fantuzzi’s analysis of fr. 4 WEST (the so-called Eunomia), which includes the first known occurrence of the term, I will first of all build on the dialect πόλεμος-στάσις in the Greek lyric. Secondly, I will reconstruct the socio-historical background that Solon alluded to in his literary produc-tion, in order to assess the impact of his reforms and, therefore, fostering our knowledge of στάσις in Archaic Greece.
