梭伦的司法改革是雅典历史上具有里程碑意义的重要事件,它既保证了广大民众对司法的最低限度的参与,也为民主制度的建立奠定了基础。尽管希腊的政治学者和改革者对这段历史一直具有浓厚的兴趣,但是,我们今天所能发现的具体材料却十分有限。最好的材料来源无疑是梭伦本人的诗作。亚里士多德和普鲁塔克就都曾大量引用这些诗作。 Solon’s judiciary reform is an important milestone in the history of Athens. It not only guarantees the general public’s minimum participation in the judiciary but also lays the foundation for the establishment of a democratic system. Although Greek political scholars and reformers have always had a keen interest in this history, the specific material we can find today is very limited. The best source of material is undoubtedly Solon’s own poetry. Aristotle and Plutarch have quoted a large number of these poems.
