Tyrants gained power from aristocrats by exploiting social and political unrest, often positioning themselves as champions of the common people against the elite. They would garner popular support through promises of reforms, land redistribution, or protection from aristocratic oppression. Once in power, tyrants often maintained their rule by establishing a strong military presence and creating a loyal base among the populace, effectively sidelining the aristocracy. This shift in power dynamics allowed them to consolidate authority and implement their vision, often at the expense of traditional aristocratic privileges.
