Charondas

600 BC - 600 BC

Charondas

Charondas (Ancient Greek: Χαρώνδας) was a celebrated lawgiver of Catania in Sicily. It is uncertain when he lived; some identify him as a pupil of Pythagoras (c. 580 – 504 BC), but all that can be said is that he lived earlier than Anaxilas of Rhegium (494 – 476 BC), as his laws were in use by the Rhegians until they were abolished by Anaxilas. His laws, originally written in verse, were adopted by the other Chalcidic colonies in Sicily and Italy. Read more on Wikipedia

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Charondas is the 831st most popular philosopher (up from 1,142nd in 2019), the 2,480th most popular biography from Italy (up from 3,628th in 2019) and the 62nd most popular Italian Philosopher.
