It is often associated with a negative connotation, implying a lack of legitimate authority or a harsh, autocratic style of governance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the term "τύραννος" originally referred to a ruler who seized power unconstitutionally or without hereditary right. Over time, it came to be associated with oppressive and unjust rule. The concept of a tyrant was well-known in the Greco-Roman world, where political power struggles and the rise of autocratic leaders were common. The term was used to describe both historical figures and mythological characters who wielded power without regard for justice or the welfare of their subjects.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"absolute ruler," Tyrannus, an Ephesian<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Tyrannus (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5181: Τύραννος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Τύραννος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Τυράννου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">Tyrannus,</span> an Ephesian in whose school Paul taught the gospel, but of whom we have no further knowledge (cf. <span class="abbreviation">B.
