Solon's reforms were mainly aimed at ending the social turmoil in oligarchic Athens - getting rid of debt-slavery and absolute aristocratic control. It was a compromise which did not solve the problem of power, and could not last, so the common people supported a tyrant to act on their behalf and enforce their rights.
After getting tired of the tyrants, they supported Cleisthenes who established an assembly where the people could actually vote on what they wanted, rather than putting up with what a Council or Tyrant thought was good or sufficient for them. So Cleisthenes' reforms were far more important than those of Solon's settlement which was not a democracy - allowing the aristocratic Council of the Areopagus to maintain dominant power.
Unfortunately the Persian War saw the return of the aristocrats who led the war effort, and retained power afterwards. It took another 20 years for Ephialtes to wrest power from the Council and re-establish democratic rule and sideline the Council again - for which they assassinated him. It was then left to his deputy, Pericles, to cement and extend Athens' democracy.

He died of the plague before seeing the catastrophe that this war brought to the Greek world in general and Athens in particular.

The Theban's did not 'conquer' Sparta, nobody did. They defeated them in the Battle of Leuctra, 371 BC (109 years after the Persians failed invasion). Led by Epaminondas, he tactically for the first time ever changed his phalanx. He turned his Phanlanx's weakest point (left side) into it's strongest, allowing his 'stronger' phalanx to clash with Spartan's strong point and a 50 men deep, his phalanx crushed the Spartan's strongest right side. He also staggered the advance of his right phalanx and in doing so by the time his 'strongest' point had broken through and routed the Spartan's strong point his remaining phalanx had advanced to clash with Spartan's, only that the Spartan's were left with no strong point and as the phalanx was broken it failed.
This was the first, last and only time the Spartan's were defeated at full strength and ulitimately led to the entire Spartan demise.
