Maria Noussia Fantuzzi, Ph.D. (1999) in Classics, University of London, is currently Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University and Margo Tytus Fellow at the University of Cincinnati. She has published extensively on archaic and post-classical poetry and is now writing a book on the early Cynics.

"Solon has always been the subject of historical and political studies, but his poetry has attracted much less interest. Now at last we have an extremely thorough treatment of both aspects. Noussia-Fantuzzi has shown that Solon is a much more competent poet than critics have often assumed. She is especially good at demonstrating his indebtedness to or deviation from earlier poets, in particular Homer and Hesiod. [...] I heartily recommend this book. It is thorough, shows balanced judgement, and provides the reader with all the tools necessary for an understanding of Solon's poetry." Douglas E. Gerber in BMCR, 2.5.2011 "[...] this is an important and useful book, informed and thought-provoking, to be recommended, especially for students of archaic Greek poetry." Antonio Aloni in Classical World 106 (2012) "Mit dem umfangreichen Kommentar hat Noussia-Fantuzzi ein fur die weitere Forschung zu Solons politischem und poetischem Werk unverzichtbares Standardwerk vorgelegt, auf das Historiker wie Philologen dankbar zuruckgreifen werden. (...) Noussia-Fantuzzi bietet einen umfassenden Uberblick uber alle mit Solon in Zusammenhang stehenden Fragen und eine willkommene Synthese bisheriger Forschungen."
