* {{Cincinnatus}}: The Roman position of dictator was created to act as a temporary one-man ruler during a severe crisis, such as during the Second Punic War. The TropeNamer, Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, held the position of dictator in 458 BC for sixteen days to deal with stop an invasion and went back to his farm shortly afterward. He was given the position again to stop the plot of Spurius Maelius and again resigned after the latter was killed. Because of this, the Romans considered Cincinnatus to be a paragon of republican values who willingly returned his powers once the crisis was over.

* TheDictatorship: The Roman Republic was the earliest example of a dictatorship and the TropeNamer, where a politician or magistrate would be temporarily appointed as a ''praetor maximus'' or ''dictator'' with the full authority of the state during a time of crisis; as time went by, this term adopted its modern definition of an undemocratic and oppressive place under the control of a single man and/or clique.

* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: In one version of Judeo-Christian mythology (''much'' later described in Milton's ''Literature/ParadiseLost''), Lucifer was a paragon of the angelic hosts before he refused a command from God (either to bow down before humanity, or before {{Jesus}}, reports vary) and rebelled. Interestingly, the Yazidi version of the myth is a subversion: Melek Taus (equated to Lucifer, leading to the false accusation that Yazidis are Satanists) is [[LawfulGood a holy figure who refused the command because it would violate the First Commandment]]. God rewarded the Peacock Angel for not being a YesMan, making him the leader of the Archangels.
