In ancient contexts, the power to rule with tyranny often rested with a single individual or a small group who seized control, typically through force or manipulation. This ruler, known as a tyrant, exercised authoritarian power, disregarding the rights and freedoms of the populace. Tyranny can arise in various forms, but it is characterized by oppressive governance, where the ruler prioritizes personal gain over the welfare of the state. Historically, such regimes often faced resistance from the people, leading to cycles of revolt and change.
