CHAPTER II
THE DRACONIAN CODE
Restored inscription of 409-8 B.C. and author’s explanation: other Draconian homicide-laws derived from Demosthenes: Plato’s code confirms and supplements these data: classification of Attic homicide laws as follows: (a) those relating to accidental homicide, to death caused by animals or inanimate objects; and to homicide by persons unknown: (b) those relating to justifiable and to justifiably accidental homicide: (c) those relating to manslaughter: (d) those relating to wilful murder: some problems suggested by these laws: origin of confiscation of property: evolution of State-execution: parricide and kin-slaying: historicity of Plato’s legislation regarding homicide.
