Well, depending on the individual city states, a couple different things could have happened. In some city states, the aristocrats themselves took power, and formed oligarchies, which are forms of government in which small groups of upperclassmen control the city state. Sometimes a tyrant would take over after a king, and the aristocrats would either stay aristocrats and advisors to the king, or be pushed down to lower class citizens as time went on to be replaced by other advisors the tyrant favored better. In Athens, the aristocrats would remain wealthy citizens when the democracy began (as a rule), but they would no longer rely solely on politics to provide for them.
They were initially ruled by petty kings. However their aristocracies wanted power and replaced the kings with aristocratic councils. The mass of the people tired of being exploited by the aristocrats and appointed tyrants to depose them and organise the states for all the landowners, not just the privileged few. As the tyrants needed money to hire a strong bodyguard to protect themselves from assassination by the aristocrats, they had to levy taxes to hire the guards, and this made them unpopular with the mass of the people, and the tyrants were also deposed, some cities reverting to aristocracies, some experimenting with democracy. After Macedonia became dominant, Alexander the Great's successors divided the Greek world up amongst themselves, ruling their portion as kings. The wheel had turned full circle.
The aristocrats were the largr landowners who displaced the kings and ruled until they were displaced by the tyrants who were installed by the lower classes to govern fairly for them. When the lower classes got tired of the tyrants authoritarianism, they brought in democracy. Often the democracies failed to function effectively, and tyrants and aristocrats returned in various cities. Then the kings returned after Alexander the Great died. As so the world has gone on with various cycles of political control, even to today.
They were either a king or a tyrant, depending on how they were appointed. Kings were hereditary, tyrants were appointed to take control when another form of government had failed (usually when people were tired of being ruled by ruthless kings or aristocrats who oppressed them).
