A lawgiver in the Greek colony of Locrii (Apoikia) in southern Italy in the mid-7th century BCE. His laws are said to have been the first written laws in Greece, and were extremely strict, based on the principle of "an eye for an eye," with fines determined in advance. He also restricted luxury, and his ideas were adopted by other cities in Italy and Sicily. He is also famous for arbitrating social disputes in Locrii.

前7世紀中頃のイタリア南部のギリシア植民市 (アポイキア ) ロクロイの立法者。彼の法はギリシア最初の成文法であったといわれるが，「目には目を」の原則に立ち，きわめて峻厳で，罰金が前もって決っていたという。奢侈も規制しており，同時期のギリシア立法者と同じ傾向をもち，イタリア，シチリアの諸市にも取入れられた。またロクロイの社会的紛争の調停者としても名高い。
