Encyclopedia > Zaleucus

Zaleucus (fl. 7th century BC) was the Greek lawgiver of Italian Locri said to have devised the first written Greek law code (Locrian code).


Although the Locrian code distinctly favored the aristocracy, Zaleucus was famous for his conciliation of societal factions. No other facts of his life are at all certain.

Zaleucus - LoveToKnow 1911 (490 words)
ZALEUCUS, of Locri Epizephyrii in Magna Graecia, Greek lawgiver, is supposed to have flourished about 660 B.C. The statement that he was a pupil of Pythagoras is an anachronism.
Zaleucus is often confused with Charondas, and the same story is told of their death.
During the stress of war, Zaleucus violated this law; and, on its being pointed out to him, he committed suicide by throwing himself upon the point of his sword, declaring that the law must be vindicated.
