The Monarchy of Athens declined in ancient Greece because the king made unfair laws and kept all the wealth to himself and his aristocrats. In the end he was overthrown by his own advisers and oligarchy rose.

As aristocrats became wealthier, their influence increased and they displaced kings. These in turn were displaced by tyrants set up by the general citizens to displace the aristocracies, and then tyrants were displaced by the citizens trialling democracy. When democracies failed, they were replaced again by kings and tyrants in the Hellenistic period after Alexander the great's death.
