In classical politics, a tyrant is one who has taken power by their own means as opposed to hereditary or constitutional power. This mode of rule is referred to as tyranny. The word derives from Latin tyrannus, meaning "illegitimate ruler", and this in turn from the Greek ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, týrannos, meaning "sovereign, master", although the latter was not pejorative and applicable to both good and bad leaders alike. In modern usage, the word "tyrant" carries connotations of a harsh and cruel ruler who places his or her own interests or the interests of a small oligarchy over the best interests of the general population, which the tyrant governs or controls. Many individual rulers or government officials are accused of tyranny, with the label almost always a matter of controversy.
