Ancient Greek law is a branch of comparative jurisprudence relating to the laws and legal institutions of
Ancient Greece. Greek Iuris law has been partially compared with
Roman law, and has been incidentally illustrated with the aid of the primitive institutions of the
Germanic nations. It may now be studied in its earlier stages in the laws of
Gortyn; its influence may be traced in legal documents preserved in
Egyptian papyri; and it may be recognized as a consistent whole in its ultimate relations to Roman law in the eastern provinces of the
Roman empire.
