Locrians
The Locrians were an ancient Greek people of central Greece, divided into the eastern Locrians facing Euboea and the Ozolian Locrians on the Gulf of Corinth, separated by Doris and Phocis. Colonists from Locris founded Locri Epizephyrii in southern Italy, whose lawgiver Zaleucus was credited with one of the earliest written Greek law codes. Homer's Ajax the Lesser was their legendary leader at Troy.
