"Chief humor for a tyrant" refers to the idea that a tyrant may derive amusement or satisfaction from the suffering and oppression of others. It suggests that a tyrant's sense of power is intertwined with a dark sense of humor, finding pleasure in the control and fear they instill. This phrase highlights the cruel nature of tyranny, where the ruler's enjoyment comes at the expense of the well-being of their subjects.

The Greek term that describes men who rule with absolute power is "tyrant." In ancient Greece, a tyrant was often a leader who seized control without legal right, exercising complete authority over the state. While the term has negative connotations today, it originally referred to any ruler with significant power, regardless of their method of obtaining it.
The tyrants took over
The tyrant.
The tyrant.
Early on, a king. Then the rich (aristocrats). Then a tyrant. Then oligarchs. Then the people themseles (democracy).
This is a dictatorship.
The tyrant was charged by a majority of the people to restrict the power of the aristocratic oligarchs who exploited the middle and lower classes, and to lift the living standards of the latter. The problem was that the aristocrats were determined to end this restriction on their power and wealth, so the tyrant had to surround himself with a large bodyguard, and to pay them, levy a tax. Greeks hated taxes, and after a couple of generations forgot how bad things had been under the oligarchs and expelled the tyrants.
It depends, but the last type they have and the type they have to day is a democracy, in the past it was ruled by a king and then nobles or aristocrats. They called it aristocracy, the nobles or aristocrats were wealthy male land owners that decided to overthrow the king, then they were overthrown by a tyrant, then the tyrant was overthrown by the people, witch then became a direct democracy.
When the rule of a narrow group of aristocrats became oppressive, a tyrant was often appointed by a broader group of the citizens to take over rule and govern for a wide sector of the community. One weakness in this was that the tyrant needed to have a bodyguard to protect him from assassination by the aristocrats, and to pay for them had to levy a tax, and taxes were very unpopular, and this was exploited for propaganda purposes by the lurking aristocrats. Tyrants saved Athens from civil war for fifty years, but eventually people tired of them and expelled them.
Tyrannical Rule places absolute governmental power in the hands of one person. The person who has the power is called a tyrant or dictator. Adolp Hitler and Benito Mussolini are examples tyrannical dictators from the 20th century.
Its a Tyrant.
Sparta had a limited democracy which suited their needs. Athens had a dominant aristocracy which they overthrew and established a dictator (tyrant) to keep the aristocrats under control. When the Athenians tired of the tyrant, they replaced him with a limited democracy, the aristocrats took power again to resist the Persian invasion, and the people then replaced them with a democracy again led by Ephialtes, whom the aristocrats assassinated. His deputy Pericles took over and experimented with a radical democracy. This resulted in their leader leading them astray, and their defeat in the Peloponnesian War. They reverted to a limited democracy similar to the Spartan one.
When the tyrant becomes as a dictator or uses their power in a harsh or cruel way.
