Abstract

In this paper will address the archaic tyrannies. These historical processes in complex constructions traditionally encompassed historiography are currently displayed as a result of the different internal stresses that dotted Greece in the archaic period. For our part, we will highlight the importance of personal relationships for the establishment of certain archaic tyranny by Cylon cases, Pisistratus and Lygdamis.
