Description

In 621/0 B.C., the Athenians appointed Draco as their first lawgiver. His homicide regulations, which by myself survived the overall recension of Athenian law by Solon (594/3 B.C.), remained in force down in the course of the Classical period. This book traces the improvement of Athenian legal and social responses to homicide from the legislation of Draco to the time of the orator Demosthenes (d. 322 B.C.), with explicit attention to the Athenian establishment of personal enmity (echthra), the circumstances and aims of Dracos legislation, familial and non secular problems surrounding homicide, and the regime of the Thirty Tyrants and its aftermath.
