How Draconian was Draco?
Most of us have called something draconian at least once, but how many of us know where the word comes from? The answer to that question is that the word draconian is a reference to the constitution/legal code that was established by Draco in the late-7th century BC in Athens. Very little is actually known about Draco, sometimes referred to as Drako or Drakon. Indeed, some scholars even think he may have been a fictional person, at least in part. Really the only thing that is known about Draco, assuming he even was one single person, is that he was commissioned to create a written set of laws to replace the largely oral legal code that existed prior to this.
