Solon and Peisistratus.
Solon faced the daunting task of improving the condition of debt-ridden farmers, laborers forced into bondage over debt, and the middle classes who were excluded from government. Solon had to help them while simultaneously avoiding alienating the increasingly wealthy landowners and aristocracy. Solon's solutions were, of necessity, compromises. Because of these reform compromises and other legislation, posterity refers to him as Solon the lawgiver.
Solon paid off debts for farmers and freed slaves in ancient Athens.
He canceled the dept from farmers and slaves.
Solon, the Athenian statesman and poet, introduced several reforms to help farmers facing economic distress. He implemented a debt relief policy that canceled existing debts and prohibited the practice of debt slavery, allowing farmers to regain their independence. Additionally, he restructured land ownership and promoted the cultivation of more profitable crops, which aimed to stabilize the agricultural economy and improve the livelihoods of farmers. These reforms helped to alleviate social tensions and foster a more equitable society in Athens.
