Content: However,
 
in
 
parts
 
of
 
Greece,
 
people
 
grew
 
tired
 
of
 
the
 
oligarchs
 
living
 
luxurious
 
lives. They
 
had
 
many
 
of
 
the
 
powers
 
like
 
the
 
kings. The
 
common
 
people
 
had
 
no
 
power
 
or
 
say. Also
 
in
 
many
 
cases
 
the
 
oligarchs
 
ruled
 
harshly
 
over
 
the
 
people
 
–
 
so
 
harsh
 
that
 
people
 
eventually
 
fought
 
back. During
 
the
 
6th
 
and
 
7th
 
centuries
 
BCE,
 
there
 
were
 
many
 
middle
 
class
 
uprisings
 
against
 
the
 
aristocrats
 
and
 
nobles. 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.
