Solon came to power in Athens around 594 BCE primarily to address the social and economic turmoil caused by class conflicts and debt crises. Appointed as a lawmaker and reformer, he aimed to stabilize the city-state by implementing a series of reforms that alleviated the burdens on the lower classes and curtailed the power of the aristocracy. While his reforms did contribute to peace between warring factions, his broader goal was to create a more equitable society and establish a foundation for democracy.
