Legislator[edit]

The article links to Legislator. However, this misses the connotations of Lawgiver. Readers of either article would have no idea about "Solon the Lawgiver", "Draco the Lawgiver", or Hammurabi. Neither were mythological figures, and neither were mere legislators. cagliost (talk) 11:12, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
