The So-Called Solonian Property Classes: Citizenship in Archaic Athens *
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 April 2017
Abstracts
It is commonly accepted that the definition of four property classes by Solon in early sixth century-BCE Athens marked a major step in the political construction of the Athenian state. However, as Claude Mossé argued thirty-five years ago, this reconstruction is mainly the result of a fourth-century-BCE historiography that positioned Solon as the founding father of Athenian democracy—casting doubt on the early existence of the so-called Solonian system. Although such an approach has often been considered as “postmodern” or “pessimistic,” I propose to follow Mossé’s path by considering the Solonian telē as occupational groups involved, along with many others, in the construction of the Athenian polis. This analysis results in the definition of an explicitly Archaic citizenship, conceived as a performance linked to specific behaviors and lifestyles.

I am very grateful for their remarks. Unless otherwise indicated, translations of Greek texts are taken from the Loeb Classical Library, published by Harvard University Press.
