Wootbox Tyranny - Subscription Box - (Wootbox March 2019)

A tyrant, in the modern English-language usage of the word, is an absolute ruler unrestrained by law, or one who has usurped legitimate sovereignty. Often portrayed as cruel, tyrants may defend their position by oppressive means. The original Greek term, however, merely meant an authoritarian sovereign without reference to character, bearing no pejorative connotation during the Archaic and early Classical periods. However, Plato, the Greek philosopher, clearly saw tyrannos as a negative word, and on account of the decisive influence of philosophy on politics, its negative connotations only increased, continuing into the Hellenistic period.

Plato and Aristotle define a tyrant as a person who rules without law, using extreme and cruel methods against both their own people and others. The Encyclopédie defined the term as a usurper of sovereign power who makes "his subjects the victims of his passions and unjust desires, which he substitutes for laws". In the late fifth and fourth centuries BC, a new kind of tyrant, the military dictator, arose – specifically in Sicily.

One can apply accusations of tyranny to a variety of types of government:

The definition of "tyranny" can extend to other oppressive leadership and to oppressive policies. For example, a teacher may regard a school administration, a textbook or standardized tests as oppressive, considering each to represent a tyranny in governance, policy or practice.
