Best Answer

In Athens, the tyrants were welcomed by the majority, but hated by the aristocrats whose power they curtailed. To avoid assassination they had to hire a large bodyguard force, and to pay for it, had to levy a tax. Greeks hated taxes, and eventually after a generation, they had forgotten how bad things had been under the aristocrats and expelled the tyrants.

The aristocrats tried to take over again, but Cleisthenes took over and established a democracy.
