description: "Zaleucus was the Greek lawgiver of Epizephyrian Locris, in Magna Graecia. According to the Suda, he worked as a shepherd and was kept a slave before receiving an education and turning to law-making. Some sources make him a Pythagorean philosopher, although older ones put him as older than Pythagoras or even deny his existence altogether. They also attribute divine origin to his laws."
