Answer:

Solon decided that he should leave the Athenians for a while so that they would cease bothering him, and work things out by themselves. He got permission to leave Athens and took a ship to Egypt [590 B.C.]. The priests of Egypt told Solon the ancient story of the lost continent of Atlantis.
