The Code of Draco was established by Draco, an Athenian legislator, around 621 BCE. He is known for creating one of the earliest written legal codes in Athens, which aimed to replace oral law and provide a standardized set of rules for the city-state. Draco's laws were famously harsh, leading to the term "draconian" to describe excessively severe legal measures.
