HELIÆA, The.
Under Solon's constitution for the government of Athens, "a
body of 6,000 citizens was every year created by lot to form a
supreme court, called Heliæa, which was divided into several
smaller ones, not limited to any precise number of persons.
The qualifications required for this were the same with those
which gave admission into the general assembly, except that
the members of the former might not be under the age of
thirty. It was, therefore, in fact, a select portion of the
latter, in which the powers of the larger body were
concentrated and exercised under a judicial form."
