s It is commonly accepted that the definition of four property classes by Solon in early sixth century-BCE Athens marked a major step in the political construction of the Athenian state. However, as Claude Mossé argued thirty-five years ago, this reconstruction is mainly the result of a fourth-century-BCE historiography that positioned Solon as the founding father of Athenian democracy-casting doubt on the early existence of the so-called Solonian system. Although such an approach has often been considered as "postmodern" or "pessimistic," I propose to follow Mossé's path by considering the Solonian telē as occupational groups involved, along with many others, in the construction of the Athenian polis . This analysis results in the definition of an explicitly Archaic citizenship, conceived as a performance linked to specific behaviors and lifestyles
