Pheidon

Pheidon (8th or 7th century BC) was king of Argos. At that point, the monarch was purely a traditional figurehead with almost no real power whatsoever. Pheidon seized power from the reigning aristocracy, making him in a sense the first tyrant.However, We don’t see him in the tradition of other tyrants, like Gyges, as a poor man usurping power. A fragment of Parian marble confirms him as a noble and places him as eleventh in line from Heracles.
