In ancient Greece, tyranny did not have the negative connotations that it does now. Then, it merely meant a form of government where one man held all political power, similar â¦ to an absolute monarchy.
Athens in the 4th to 5th century BCE had an extraordinary system of government, whereby all male citizens had equal political rights, freedom of speech, and the opportunity to participate directly in the political arena. This system was democracy. Further, not only did citizens participate in a direct democracy whereby they themselves made the decisions by which they lived, but they also actively served in the institutions that governed them, and so they directly controlled all parts of the political process.
