Hans van Wees argued that a passage describing this person's reforms was fabricated by Demetrius of Phaleron. The Suda relates that this leader died by suffocating under clothes that were thrown at him in approval. Wooden tablets mounted on three-sided pyramids, which lasted for two hundred years, were used to display legislation created under this leader that extended the franchise to all men who could furnish themselves with the equipment to be a hoplite; those men became qualified to elect the (*) Council of Four Hundred. Apart from laws distinguishing murder from involuntary homicide and self-defense, most of the laws created under this man were repealed under Solon since they prescribed death for minor infractions. For 10 points, identify this first legislator of Athens, who lends his name to harsh legal codes.
