Tyrannies existed across the Greek world from the city-states to the islands of Sicily and Samos. Most historians date the Great Age of Greek Tyranny from 750 to 500 BCE, ending with the ousting of Hippias; however, some authors extend the period into the 4th century BCE, embracing the despotic rule of Cassander in Macedonia as well as the tyrannies of Dionysius I and II in Syracuse. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2117/tyrants-of-greece/?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=Zapier&utm_campaign=whencyclopedia #history #Solon #Periander #Corinth
