Ancient Tyranny
Sian LewisTyrants are more than just the antithesis of democracy or the mark of political failure: they arise in response to social and political pressures. Gathering together writings by leading historians, political theorists, and philosophers, this book is a comparative study of the autocratic rulers and dynasties of classical Greece and Rome and the changing concepts of tyranny in their political thought and culture.
