After 40 years, in which the tyrants had successfully suppressed the oligarchs and ruled for the benefit of all. they became unpopular. One reason is that the inequity problem had been solved for two generations and was no longer an active issue for the populace. The other was that the tyrants had to hire a force to protect them against the vengeful oligarchs. To do this they had to levy taxes, and Greeks hated taxes, so that pushed the deposition of the tyrant.

Greek tyrants were rules who seized power by force from the aristocrats.
The tyranny in Athens was terminated in 510 BCE when the tyrant Hippias was expelled. The aristocrats tried to re-establish their power, but Cleisthenes in 507 BCE established a democratic assembly.
Tyranny can lose its power through various means. It can be through popular uprisings, revolutions, or resistance movements that challenge and overthrow the tyrannical regime. External intervention, such as military intervention or economic sanctions, can also weaken tyrannical powers. Additionally, internal factors such as corruption, economic collapse, or divisions within the ruling elite can contribute to the loss of power for tyrants.
