ARCHON, ar' kon, the highest officer in an- 

 cient Athens. The first archon was chosen by 

 the nobles from the royal family of Codrus, 

 the last king of Athens, and his term of office 

 was for life. In 752 B.C. the length of the 

 term was shortened to ten years, and in 714 

 B.C. the archonship was thrown open to all 

 tin nobles. In 682 B.C. the number of archons 

 was increased to nine, and thereafter they 

 were chosen every year. The reforms of Solon 

 gave anyone who had a certain amount of 

 property the right to hold the office, and in 

 477 B.C., under Aristidcs, this right was given 

 to all Athenian citizens. After 508 B.C. the 

 archons were chosen by lot. The first of the 

 nine archons, called the Archon, gave his name 

 t tli. y;ir in public records; the second had 

 tin- c:in- of the religious interests of the peo- 

 ple; the third, the Polcmarch, waa the war 

 archon. The other six were the lawgivers of 

 the state.
