This is an old article that caught my attention a few years back that discusses the history between Confucianism and Buddhism, and how the 2 systems of thought are in many ways diametrically opposed to one another, especially with regards to the nature of the self.

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Tarquin-king-of-Rome-534-509-BC This is where the term tyrant originates from. But does being tyranical make you a dictator?
no
Actually it comes from Rome too
Although dictator didn't have the negative connotation it does now
They would take power during times of extreme emergencies
During the Roman Republic
And relenquish it when the emergency was over
Rome's first dictator was Aulus Postumius Albinus, who was appointed in the first decade of the fifth century BCE, when the Latin allies revolted. This was a serious crisis and the Romans thought that only one man with extraordinary powers could solve the problems. This measure was successful and was sometimes repeated. A consul or (in emergency situations) praetor could appoint a dictator; this proposal could not be vetoed. https://www.livius.org/articles/concept/dictator/
