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.
A tyrant was appointed to give some equality in a city-state split by upper classes exploiting the lower classes. The tyrant's problem was that the aristocracy would set out to assassinate him in order to regain ascendancy and control. The tyrant would have to establish a large bodyguard, and to pay for them, collect a tax. All classes hated taxes, so the tyrant's support waned and would be expelled, with either the aristocrats taking over or a democracy was set up by the lower classes.
