I found a couple sites that said that Draco's code mostly shocked the Athenians because they hadn't known how many laws passed by the nobles had been so severe. Yet there was also a quoted that said Draco had thought death for theft of an apple was fitting. I found a site with a lot of history about a very wide range of topics, well worth browsing. But the site about Draco gave a URL so long it took two lines, and I didn't have tsuwm's tool for shortening it handy. So I'll just give entrance URL in case somebody wants to browse.
