As most societies in Ancient Greece codified basic law during the mid-seventh century BC, [5] Athenian oral law was manipulated by the aristocracy [6] until the emergence of Draco's code. Around 621 BC the people of Athens commissioned Draco to devise a written law code and constitution, giving him the title of the first legislator of Athens.
