Abstract

Archaic tyrannies, emerging during the period of polis formation, are in many respects comparable to city-state monarchies in the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East. There is every reason to consider tyranny as a vehicle for state formation in Archaic Greece. However, Greek poleis eventually did not accept monarchy as a legitimate form of government. The article discusses the reason precluding the entrenchment of sole rule in Archaic Greek poleis, conditioned by the relative egalitarianism of the society evolving from the Early Iron Age.
