Record Type: concept
tyrants (rulers (people), <people in administration and government>, ... People (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Rulers who exercise power oppressively, cruelly, or unjustly. Examples include in ancient Greece and Sicily, where tyrants usurped power from the legal authorities or inherited such power, but often with popular support. In modern contexts, examples include rulers who hold supreme political power and exercise it oppressively. For non-hereditary rulers who exercise absolute power over the government of a nation, whether or not cruelly or unjustly, see "dictators."

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指以殘暴、專制、不公方式行使權力之當權者或在位者,特別是指握有最高政權的人。亦可特別指稱古希臘以及西西里島的統治者,他們從合法政權中篡奪或繼承權力,但通常深得民意支持。不論其方式是否殘暴或不公,對於在國家治理上行使絕對權力之非世襲統治者,則參閱「獨裁者」一詞。 
Dutch ..... In het algemeen te gebruiken voor personen in een machtige of gezaghebbende positie die deze op een onderdrukkende, wrede of onrechtvaardige manier gebruiken, meestal maar niet altijd personen met het hoogste politieke gezag. Wordt met name gebruikt voor heersers met die titel in het oude Griekenland en Sicilië die zich de macht van de rechtmatige autoriteiten hebben toegeëigend, vaak met de steun van het volk. Gebruik 'dictators ' voor heersers die hun status niet uit erfopvolging hebben verkregen en die absolute, onbeperkte macht uitoefenen over het bestuur van een natie, al of niet op wrede of onrechtvaardige wijze. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere generalmente para aquellos en una posición de poder o autoridad que lo ejercen opresiva, cruel o injustamente, especialmente pero no exclusivo de aquellos que poseen el poder político supremo. Usado específicamente para dirigentes de ese título en la Grecia antigua y Sicilia que usurpaban el poder de las autoridades legales, frecuentemente con el apoyo popular. Para dirigentes no hereditarios que ejercen el poder absoluto e irrestricto sobre el gobierno de una nación, tanto cruel o injustamente, use "dictador”.
