Offers a study of ancient Greek tyrant-killing legislation - laws that explicitly gave individuals incentives to "kill a tyrant." This title demonstrates that the ancient Greeks promulgated these laws to harness the dynamics of mass uprisings and preserve popular democratic rule in the face of anti-democratic threats.
