In seventh century BC Athens, farmers who couldn't pay their debts often faced severe consequences, including the loss of their land and becoming enslaved to their creditors. This situation contributed to widespread social unrest and dissatisfaction among the lower classes. In response to these issues, the Athenian statesman Solon implemented reforms around 594 BC, including the cancellation of debts and the prohibition of debt slavery, which aimed to alleviate the plight of impoverished farmers and restore social stability.
