Ancient Greek law

  • Ancient Greek lawmakers
    • Draco – first legislator of Athens in Ancient Greece. He replaced the prevailing system of oral law and blood feud by a written code to be enforced only by a court. Draco's written law became known for its harshness, with the adjective "draconian" referring to similarly unforgiving rules or laws.
      • Draconian constitution – first written constitution of Athens. So that no one would be unaware of them, they were posted on wooden tablets (ἄξονες – axones), where they were preserved for almost two centuries, on steles of the shape of three-sided pyramids (κύρβεις – kyrbeis).
    • Solon – Athenian statesman and lawmaker, remembered for the Solonian Constitution.
      • Solonian Constitution – a code of laws embracing the whole of public and private life. It sought to revise or abolish the older laws of Draco.
  • Dreros inscription – the earliest surviving inscribed law from ancient Greece.
  • Heliaia, the supreme court of ancient Athens.
  • Great Rhetra, the constitution of Sparta
