Who was the first recorded legislator of Athens, whose 7th-century BC legal code was so severe that it is the root of the adjective "draconian"?

Show answer

Draco

His laws were the first in Athens to be written down, replacing a system of oral law and blood feuds. Most of his code was later repealed by Solon, though the harsh penalties for even minor crimes left a lasting historical reputation.
