SOLON'S POETRY

Plutarch wrote a biography of Solon, in which he tells us that Solon tried, unsuccessfully, to introduce to the Atlantis story to the Greeks in a poetic form. Fragments of Solon's poems have survived, but they contain no reference to the Atlantis tale. This link takes you to translations of the Fragments.
