Croesus blurted out the name: Solon, Solon Solon.

Herodotus meets Ellroy: How Croesus Escaped the Persian Funeral Pyre:

"Cyrus strained to hear Croesus as he blurted out the name: Solon, Solon Solon.

After a lot of back and forth, Cyrus gathered that Croesus now felt he should have listened to Solon and perhaps opt for a less warlike career. This evident penitence moved Cyrus to call off the execution and accept Croesus as a fellow royal."
