Alexander iv of macedon

Alexander the Great was thirteen years old when his father, Philip II, the king of Macedonia, decided he would need a teacher of high repute to instruct him in various matters.

The king chose the philosopher Aristotle, whose father had already acted as a physician in the service of a previous Macedonian king.

Aristotle was born in Stagira, in northern Greece. He studied in Athens under the great philosopher Plato and stayed there until he was in his late thirties.

Aristotle would later attain greatness in philosophy, much like his teacher, and be known for his writings on logic, ethics, rhetoric, zoology, theater, and music, among other subjects.

How did alexander the great die

Aristotle left Athens when Plato died in 347 B.C, and in 343 B.C., he was called upon by Philip II to be a teacher to his son, Alexander. 

Being a tutor to the young Alexander favored Aristotle greatly. The post was a high honor, and he would be able to continue his research with the powerful kings’ support and resources.
