Solon

Here you will find the Poem Eunomia. of poet Solon

Eunomia.

These things my spirit bids me 
teach the men of Athens: 
that Dysnomia 
brings countless evils for the city, 
but Eunomia brings order 
and makes everything proper, 
by enfolding the unjust in fetters, 
smoothing those things that are rough, 
stopping greed, 
sentencing hybris to obscurity 
making the flowers of mischief to whither, 

and straightening crooked judgments. 
It calms the deeds of arrogance 
and stops the bilious anger of harsh strife. 
Under its control, all things are proper 
and prudence reigns human affairs
