What is a person called that came to power outside of constitutional or legal means in Greece?
Tyrant. They usually arose as a political solution when there was irreconcilable strife in a state, and set out to settle the political problems and rule benevolently. However in such circumstances there were losers, who did not appreciate the tyranny, and tried to overthrow it. To stay in power, tyrants had to have a bodyguard, and to pay for that they had to tax, which reduced their popularity even amongst those who had supported them. See discussion page.

What did the competitors win in the ancient Olympics?
They won olive branches, though these olive branches were very important, as the victors in these events were paraded through streets, with their name being as famous as their face. Their faces were so famous that they were sculpted into statues, which explains the nudity of many of these monuments, as the Olympics were performed in the buff. Also, in addition to statues, the winners of these games were given a great amount of money, as each winning won the man (as all competitors were young men) a small fortune. The competitors were nude for the purpose of glorifying the perfection of the human body, as perfectly fit and muscular bodies were statues in action.
