The four tyrants in Athens, known as the "Four Hundred," were a group of oligarchic leaders who seized control during the political turmoil of 411 BCE. They aimed to replace the democratic government with a more centralized power structure, but their rule was met with significant resistance and ultimately failed. The most notable tyrants included individuals like Peisistratus and his sons, who established earlier forms of tyranny, but the immediate context of the Four Hundred refers to a specific coup attempt during the Peloponnesian War. Their reign was characterized by political instability and opposition from democratic factions, leading to their eventual overthrow.
