Tyrants Increase in trade and
industry = new group of wealthy people.
Wanted political power but the aristocrats refused
Led to tyrants- rulers who seized power from the aristocrats, using hired soldiers.
Once they gained power they built new marketplaces, temples, and walls.

Tyrants Supported by:
The new wealthy poor peasants
(indebted to the aristocrats)
Not evil or bad as we have come to know the term.
Tyrants ruled from 7th and 6th centuries, bce,
Helped establish a pattern of someone other than aristocracy ruling city-states.
