What is a tyrant and why was it so important?
Tyrant originally just meant someone who rules by themselves, however during the time of the Roman Empire, the last tyrant of the old regime, Tarquinius Suberbus (Tarquin the Proud) changed the definition. He was very unpopular with the people, and was exiled because of it. From that moment, the people would despise anyone who even mentioned the word King, and the King was a tyrant. This is where the modern word with the attachments of negative connotations comes from. The second point depends on what exactly you define as important. Tyrants were certainly important for the Romans and previous civilisations. Until recently, the world was run by monarchs who were tyrants, as there was no input from anyone else; the King/Queen's word goes. This is important; the People have no say if there is a tyrant on the throne. If this is not what you meant, I apologise in advance, and request that you refine the question.

Why was the support of the poor important to a tyrant?
A tyrant was appointed to bring a balance to a society where the ruling upper class was so exploiting the lower classes that revolution and self-destruction was becoming inevitable. The aristocracy resented this but had to put up with it as long as the tyrant retained overall public support. The tyrant was, however, under constant threat of assassination and so had to hire a large bodyguard, and impose a tax to pay for it. No Greek class liked taxes and so the tyrants were eventually deposed or murdered, opening the way for a trial of democracy as an alternative. Democracy often failed, bringing back the aristocrats, another tyrant of a king, and so the cycle went on.
