Solon did not bring democracy to Athens - he implemented a settlement of a standoff between opposing factions in Athens. Democracy began over 50 years later when Cleisthenes in 508 BCE implemented the democratic principle of putting laws before a citizen assembly to vote on.
Solon was appointed archon for a year to resolve a looming civil war between the aristocrats and common citizens.
