A tyrant was appointed as a sole ruler of a city-state to bring the aristocracy (oligarchs) under control, and rule for the benefit of all. They fell into disrepute as they had to establish a personal bodyguard to protect them from assassination by the oligarchs. This cost money and the oligarchs had to tax the people to get it; the people didn't like being taxed, so they eventually replaced the tyrants with a democracy.
