The first brutal tyrant of Athens was Draco. His revision of the code of laws made even the smallest offense punishable by death. For some, stealing was the only means of survival. Unfortunately for these people there was a deadly consequence. Due to the harshness of this society the word draconian was used to depict something brutal.

There were many other Athenian tyrants and none were described as unkind as Draco was. After his reign, less cruel dictators were known for advancements of democracy-like governments. Cleisthenes, for example,

made laws in favor of democracy and extended citizenship to more people. The laws and consequences of men such as Draco can be compared with the same ideals as Saddam Hussein of Iraq and Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia.

Slobodan Milosevic is another dangerous tyrant that is much like Hussein. Milosevic gains his power from bribery and little opposition. The Serbs military attempts on defenseless, unarmed ethnic Albanians is not only cowardly, but has also gone on for centuries. Milosevic is relentless and uses any measure to crush the opposition. He has bribed political opposers and silenced independent voices. If there is one constant in a tyrannical government it is fear. Saddam and Milosevic both strike fear into the hearts of any hostility.
