    I have this feeling that Solon was the Bernie sanders of Greece 😮😢

    Loved the video; I always wanted to know more about Solon... the tale of Solon and Croessus sounds made up though (by an ancient author I'm sure). I've never heard about someone fishing for a compliment nearly so hard as that. It would surely violate standard of virtue and dignity to then get angry and demand the guest leaves the land, oh but then within a year he lives to regret it and calls out for Solon as the flames rise around him... sounds very made up; but I could ve mistaken.

      Thank you! You are most probably right. Of course, we will probably never know if such an event happened. The story itself was likely written by Herodotus to effectively portray the ideals of an Athenian Greek man in the 7th century B.C., in contrast to people of other cultures who think very differently. Herodotus was an extremely informed person and he also traveled extensively, however, in his works, he highlights many times that these stories were told to him by other people; whether we believe them or not, or whether he believed them or not, is another matter. Some of his descriptions about locations have been proven right, while others have been proven wrong. However, I have to disagree with you on the matter of host and guest etiquette. It would not be uncommon for a host, particularly a powerful one, to demand that someone leave his house/palace because he deems the guest as 'rude' or does or believes they do not flatter him enough.

    is Greek gender and chattel slavery invisible to you?

      Slavery is frequently mentioned in the video. I'm guessing you did not see the video before commenting.

      Not in the last but I still entirely fail to grasp what your point is supposed to be ?
      Also you missed out, "debt," slavery.
