"Solon, your namesake, was most certainly a boy buggering bastard"

LOL! There is no evidence of that! But if he was bisexual, it did not bother Athens and it does not bother me! That he was the Father of Democracy and one of the SEVEN SAGES and was AGAINST MORAL DECLINE...certainly appeals to me!

Solon c. 638 BC – 558 BC) was an Athenian statesman, lawmaker, and poet. He is remembered particularly for his efforts to legislate against political, economic, and moral decline in archaic Athens. His reforms failed in the short term, yet he is often credited with having laid the foundations for Athenian democracy. [1] [2] [3] [4]
