Draco (lawgiver)
:''"Dracon"'' redirects here. In fiction, it may refer also to the home world of the Dracs.''
Draco (; , ''Drakōn''; fl. c. 7th century BC) was the first recorded 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.
== Life ==
During the 39th Olympiad, in 622 or 621 BC, Draco established the legal code with which he is identified.
Little is known about his life. He may have belonged to the Greek nobility of Attica, with which the 10th-century Suda text records him as contemporaneous, prior to the period of the Seven Sages of Greece. It also relates a folkloric story of his death in the Aeginetan theatre.〔Cobham, Ebenezer. (''The Reader's Handbook of Allusions, References, Plots and Stories'' ), p. 451.〕 In a traditional ancient Greek show of approval, his supporters 'threw so many hats and shirts and cloaks on his head that he suffocated, and was buried in that same theatre'.〔Suidas. "()". ''Suda On Line''. Adler number delta, 1495.〕
