| Description: | This investigation explores the term μόναρχος as it appears in Solon 9 (West) (Gentili-Prato 9). Alongside the use of μούναρχος in Theognis 52, this Solonian fragment stands as the only surviving instance in archaic Greek literature of the concept of ‘monarch.’ By analyzing the manuscript witnesses, particularly the evidence provided by Diodorus Siculus’ Bibliotheca Historica, and comparing other Solonian passages that feature terms for sovereign rulers, I contend that the term μονάρχου in Solon is likely an interpolation, replacing an original τυράννου. |
