Barbarians â a word that today often refers to uncivilized people or evil people and their evil deeds â originated in ancient Greece, and it initially merely referred to people who did not speak Greek. Today, the meaning of the word is far removed from its original Greek roots.
The Oxford English Dictionary offers alternative definitions: a ruler, an illegitimate ruler (a usurper), an absolute ruler (despot) or an oppressive, unjust or cruel ruler. The term is usually applied to vicious dictators who achieve bad results for the governed. The definition of a tyrant is cursed by subjectivity. Oppression, injustice and cruelty do not have standardized measurements or thresholds. The Greeks defined both usurpers and those inheriting rule from usurpers as tyrants.
