Help. 1. Hold one hand, palm up, in front of you. 2. Curl your other hand into a fist with your thumb pointing up. Place it on top of your other palm. 3. Raise the fist a few inches off your palm.
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.
In contrast with the law-based democracy of the Athenians, monarchy/tyranny (rule by one) and aristocracy/oligarchy (rule by the few) were practiced by neighboring Hellenes and Persians. All eyes turned to the Athenian experiment, and few liked what they saw. By N.S. Gill.
