Croesus on the pyre, Attic red-figure amphora, 500–490 BC, Louvre (G 197)
"Croesus and Fate" (AKA: "Croesus and Solon")[1] is a short story by Leo Tolstoy that is a retelling of a Greek legend, classically told by Herodotus, and Plutarch, about the king Croesus. It was first published in 1886 by Tolstoy's publishing company The Intermediary. Tolstoy's version is shorter than that by Herodotus, and Tolstoy's characterization of Croesus was designed to parallel the title character in his 1886 novella The Death of Ivan Ilych.[2]
