Content: A
 
new
 
group
 
of
 
rulers
 
emerged,
 
the
 
“tyrants.” Greek
 
tyrants
 
seized
 
power
 
from
 
the
 
aristocrats
 
by
 
force,
 
or
 
military
 
strength. In
 
the
 
beginning
 
the
 
tyrants
 
were
 
popular. They
 
helped
 
rid
 
the
 
people
 
of
 
the
 
unpopular
 
oligarchies
 
and
 
made
 
many
 
promises. They
 
needed
 
the
 
support
 
of
 
the
 
people
 
so
 
they
 
would
 
provide
 
food,
 
luxury
 
items,
 
money,
 
and
 
forgive
 
people’s
 
debts. After
 
a
 
time,
 
they
 
began
 
to
 
rule
 
as
 
a
 
king
 
and
 
developed
 
bad
 
reputations. They
 
kept
 
power
 
by
 
using
 
fear
 
and
 
military
 
force. People
 
grew
 
tired
 
of
 
the
 
instability
 
that
 
tyranny
 
offered. People
 
lived
 
their
 
lives
 
in
 
fear
 
instead
 
of
 
peace. Reformers
 
of
 
Ancient
 
Greece
 
Government
 
After
 
awhile,
 
people
 
were
 
ready
 
for
 
a
 
change
 
from
 
the
 
tyrants.
