Section 25C:

Bury 1929
Lee 1965
Jowett 1871
Kalkavage 2001
And then it was, Solon, that the manhood of your State showed itself conspicuous for valor and might in the sight of all the world. For it stood pre-eminent above all in gallantry and all warlike arts, and acting partly as leader of the Greeks, and partly standing alone by itself when deserted by all others, after encountering the deadliest perils, it defeated the invaders and reared a trophy; whereby it saved from slavery such as were not as yet enslaved, and all the rest of us who dwell within the bounds of Heracles it ungrudgingly set free. It was then, Solon, that the power and courage and strength of your city became clear for all men to see. Her bravery and military skill were outstanding; she led an alliance of the Greeks, and then when they deserted her and she was forced to fight alone, after running into direst peril, she overcame the invaders and celebrated a victory; she rescued those not yet enslaved from the slavery threatening them, and she generously freed all others living within the Pillars of Hercules. and then, Solon, your country shone forth, in the excellence of her virtue and strength, among all mankind. She was pre-eminent in courage and military skill, and was the leader of the Hellenes. And when the rest fell off from her, being compelled to stand alone, after having undergone the very extremity of danger, she defeated and triumphed over the invaders, and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjugated, and generously liberated all the rest of us who dwell within the pillars. It was then, Solon, that the power of your city became illustrious to all mankind for her virtue and might, for she stood before all other in bravery and in all the arts relating to war, at times leading the Greeks, at times standing alone, of necessity, when the others defected; having taken the most extreme risks and having mastered the invaders, she set up trophies; and she prevented from being enslaved those who were not yet enslaved, while for the rest of us dwelling within the boundaries of Hercules, she liberated us all ungrudgingly.

Then it was, Solon, that your city's might shone bright with excellence and strength for all humankind to see. Preeminent among all others in the nobility of her spirit and in her use of all the arts of war, she first rose to the leadership of the Greek cause. Later, forced to stand alone, deserted by her allies, she reached a point of extreme peril. Nevertheless she overcame the invaders and erected her monument of victory. She prevented the enslavement of those not yet enslaved and generously freed all the rest of us who lived within the boundaries of Heracles. Then it was, O Solon, that the power of your city was conspicuous to all men for its virtue and strength. For, as its armies surpassed all others both in magnanimity and military skill, so with respect to its contests, whether it was assisted by the rest of the Greeks, over whom it presided in warlike affairs, or whether it was deserted by them through the incursions of the enemy, and became situated in extreme danger, yet it still remained triumphant. In the mean time, those who were not yet enslaved it liberated from danger; and procured the most ample liberty for all those of us who dwell within the Pillars of Hercules. At that time, therefore O Solon, your city's power, before all men, became manifestly valorous and strong. For among all you were foremost in courage and great cunning in the midst of battle, so of all the Greeks you took the lead; yet at the same time you came to stand alone out of necessity, for the others deserted. Yet upon finally encountering the danger you conquered; the invaders stood in defeat. So those not yet enslaved, you spared from being enslaved, but all the others, everyone dwelling within the boundary of Heracles, all these together you ungrudgingly set free. tote oun umwn, w solon, ths polews h gunamis eis apantas anqrwpous diafanhs areth te kai rwmh egeneto pantwn gar prostasa euyucia kai tecnais osai kata polemon, ta men twn ellhnwn hgoumenh, ta de auth monwqeisa ex anagkhs twn allwn apostantwn, epi tous escatous afikomenh kindunous, krathsasa men twn epiontwn tropaia esthse, tous de mhpw dedoulwmenous diekwluse doulwqhnai, tous de allous, osoi katoikoumen entos orwn hrakleiwn, afqonws apantas hleuqerwsen.
