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.

Solon a wise Athenian leader reformed many laws and was known for his fairness and was a big contributor to democracy.

How are tyrants different in Greece than they are now?
There are no tyrants in Greece. Greece is a democratic country.Answer:In its past Greece had many tyrants. Essentially tyrants, then as now, seize power outside of the democratic processes of the society. Tyranny is usually looked on as bad thing as there is no peaceful way to change to a different leader.
Greek tyrants were?
Greek tyrants were not all that bad sometimes, because way back then, a tyrant was chosen to help in a place's time of need, and then give up their power. This contradicts the way people think of tyrants today, usually as a cruel, power-hungry person, but, then, we're talking about hundreds of years ago. Greek Tyrants, generally the 1st generation tyrants, were good people. They chose to favor the poor(Kakoi) and provide work for the poor and seize land from the weathly(Agathoi). During these times (around 650bc) the oligarchy generally favored the rich. If you were part of the Kakoi you were seen as morally "bad" and vice versa for the Agathoi. Tyrant Periander, son of Cypselus, for example, built a stone trackway all the way across the Isthmus of Corinth to increase trade and utilized the work of the poor. Tyrants (1st generation) were great with building and growing economies. As we get later in history to 2nd and 3rd generation tyrants we start to see a trend in unjustice and power abuse. This is where we start to see the beginning of dictatorship.
