I never realized this before. Came upon it in some random reading. The term "solecism," for ungrammatical speech, comes from the name Solon, the sage and law-giver. How? Well, the City of Soli in Cilicia is said to be named for Solon. Soli is a good distance from Athens -- it is in the southeastern corner of Asia Minor, near Lebanon. And Athenian settlers to Soli gradually lost the purity (as Athenians saw it) of their speech of that dialect of Greek. Thus: one who speaks in any manner oddly would in time be accused of uttering solecisms. I don't know what to do with that fact but I record it here.
