Among J. Enoch Powell’s (1912-1998) unpublished classical papers preserved at the Churchill Archives Centre in Cambridge, there is a short piece titled The Solon Speech in Herodotus written in 1931: Powell claimed that there was a close relationship between the representation of Solon in Herodotus and Solon’s own poetry. The main purpose of this article is to offer a transcription of Powell’s unpublished paper: its fate will be considered, and its content will be discussed against later scholars’ works on Solon in Herodotus. Moreover, this paper will be set in the context of Powell’s early years in Cambridge together with his published works on Herodotus, his approach to textual criticism and his personal relationship with Paul Maas.

The main purpose of this article is to offer a transcription of Powell’s unpublished paper: its fate will be considered, and its content will be discussed against later scholars’ works on Solon in Herodotus. Moreover, this paper will be set in the context of Powell’s early years in Cambridge together with his published works on Herodotus, his approach to textual criticism and his personal relationship with Paul Maas.Pubblicazioni consigliate
