	Zaleucus - LoveToKnow 1911
		ZALEUCUS, of Locri Epizephyrii in Magna Graecia, Greek lawgiver, is supposed to have flourished about 660 B.C. The statement that he was a pupil of Pythagoras is an anachronism.
		Zaleucus is often confused with Charondas, and the same story is told of their death.
		During the stress of war, Zaleucus violated this law; and, on its being pointed out to him, he committed suicide by throwing himself upon the point of his sword, declaring that the law must be vindicated.

		Thus Locri Epizephyrii, where we hear of The Thousand and also of the hundred houses, probably derived its institutions from its metropolis, and the assembly of The Thousand may have spread from there to the other states5.
		At Croton we hear of such an assembly8: at Rhegium, where Charondas drew up the laws not long after Zaleucus had done his work at Locri, there was an assembly of The Thousand, chosen on a property qualification and controlling the whole administration7.
		At Acragas after the overthrow of the tyranny a moderate constitution was established and in connexion with it we hear of 'the gathering of The Thousand8.'

		He said the doctrine of the penal substitutionary theory of the Atonement (the theory that Christ paid the price, or received the penalty, for our sin) provided an example of how Newman saw the difference between manifestation and mystery.
		"In his discussion of this Newman notes the illustration of the classical story of Zaleucus, prince of the Locrians, who decreed that the penalty for adultery throughout his kingdom should be that those guilty of adultery should have two eyes put out.
		So the demands of justice were satisfied because the penalty of putting out two eyes was exacted, but the Father's love is manifested by the putting out of one of Zaleucus' own eyes instead of both eyes of the son.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Gerace
		The city probably owes its origin, or at least its importance, to the ruin of the town of Locri Epizephyrii, one of the earliest Greek colonies in Lower Italy, founded by the Ozolian Locrians (684-680 B.C.) and endowed with a code of laws by Zaleucus.
		It suffered much during the wars of Dionysius the Younger and of Pyrrhus, and in the Second Punic War, when it passed into the hands of the Romans, retaining, however, the ancient constitution of Zaleucus.
		Before its total ruin, Locri Epizephrii had a bishop of its own; but in 709, under Bishop Gregory, the see was transferred to Gerace.
