Examples
editThe "18 lawgivers" depicted on the United States Supreme Court Building: The South Wall Frieze includes figures of lawgivers from the ancient world and includes
- ancient: Menes, Hammurabi, Moses, Solomon, Lycurgus, Solon, Draco, Confucius, and Augustus.
- medieval and modern: Justinian, Muhammad, Charlemagne, John of England, Louis IX of France, Hugo Grotius, Sir William Blackstone, John Marshall, and Napoleon.
Legislator
editThe article links to Legislator. However, this misses the connotations of Lawgiver. Readers of either article would have no idea about "Solon the Lawgiver", "Draco the Lawgiver", or Hammurabi. Neither were mythological figures, and neither were mere legislators. cagliost (talk) 11:12, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
