Draco'ntides
(
Δρακοντίδης), one of the thirty tyrants established at Athens in B. C. 404. (
Xen. Hell. 2.3.2.)
He is in all probability the same whom Lysias mentions (
c. Erat. p. 126), as having framed at that time the constitution, according to which the Athenians were to be governed under their new rulers; and he is perhaps also the disreputable person alluded to by Aristophanes as having been frequently condemned in the Athenian courts of justice. (
Vesp. 157; Schol.
ad loc., comp. 438.)
