Talk:Draco (lawgiver)

message: What is with this line: "Predictably, the man who peod on a rabbit was appointed to transcribe these laws was a eupatrid?" It's quite amusing, but lacking gravitas. It looks like someone inserted the phrase "peod on a rabbit."

text: You're right that some of it is redundant. However, they do provide details not mentioned in the first paragraphs. Perhaps they should be merged? --Primetime 23:25, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

message: His real name is Robbie Rosa and he is the Latino "Puff Daddy" - an award-winning producer, writer, and recording artist.  Once a member of Menudo, he wrote & produced "Living La Vida Loca" for Ricky Martin.  
I heard this on an early Sunday morning show called "American Latino."
* Honestly, who cares and why is this here? What pertinence does any of this at all, have to do with this article? How insignificant can you get? Stevenmitchell (talk) 16:51, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recording artist, Draco 

message: Would people mind if I moved this to Draco (lawgiver) and moved the Draco (disambiguation) page here?  The reason why I ask is because, as an astronomer, I am more likely to be looking for several other things named Draco than the ancient Greek lawgiver.  I also think that the general public will not necessarily be looking up the lawgiver more than 30% of the time either. GeorgeJBendo 13:07, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: so whats happened to Draco [law] now? Any possibility of adding anything?
:The page looks like garbage on my web browser.  Does it look like garbage on other people's browsers?  Should I revert the page to a previous version? GeorgeJBendo 07:35, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  And now? 

message: Draco → Draco (lawgiver) — Most people searching for "Draco" are probably not going to be searching for the ancient Athenian lawgiver.  It is more likely that they will be searching for the constellation or one of several fictional characters named Draco.  The page "Draco (disambiguation)" should be moved to "Draco", and the page "Draco" (currently an article on the lawgiver) should be moved to "Draco (lawgiver)".

message: Supposedly Draco died when he entered an amphitheater and cloaks were showered on him as a symbol of approval. He was smothered. I can't find the original source for this statement, which may be false, but it's so ancient, it probably ought to be used anyway. Student7 02:40, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Death by Acclamation!

message: The laws written by Draco were not the first - written laws that were available to all literate citizens existed in both Sumerian and Babylonian cultures. The Sumerian example would be the Ur-Nammu Law Code, the Babylonian one beingf the Akkadian Law Code of Hammurabi. (ref: pp83, The Sumerians: Their History, Culture and Character - Kramer, Samuel Noah - University of Chicago Press - ) However, these laws were on clay tablets, they were not publicly posted. It would probably be fair to say the Greek laws were the first public notices of the legal code
Well first off his name was Drakon, secondly his law-code was not unique in the Greek world in the seventh century: at Dreros a law was passed c. 650-600 about the holding of office and Zaleukos of Locri in southern Italy, who was known as the first law-giver, also belongs to this period. Take that wikipedia.

thread_title:  A little traslation please... 

message: The distinction between the Council of Five Hundred and the Council of Four Hundred is unclear. Is this a typo? "They elected the Council of Four Hundred from among their number" A quick google search showed results for both a Council of Five Hundred and four hundred with respect to ancient Athens.--Telnoratti (talk) 19:44, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
