Episode description
Every wonder what a tyrant was, how a tyrant became a tyrant and if there were any benefits in having a tyrant run your city? In this episode I answer these questions as I examine some tyrants from the Archaic period to the mid-5th century BC.
A main source for this episode which I mention is James F McGlew: 'Tyranny and Political Culture in Ancient Greece'.
