dictatorial

Solon was given a position known by political theorists as a Legislator (see Machiavelli): a person who is recognised to be wise who is given authority to craft foundational laws for a society. In the more practical (and technical sense) he was appointed Eponymous Archon of Athens, by a vote, to reform the existing laws. Many of his reforms included attempts to shift Athens away from a largely agrarian economy in order to draw in more craftsmen. Much of his reforms failed to achieve their immediate desired goals, but in the long run he was considered the great "founder" of the "Athenian democracy" and is one of seven Greek sages.
