He was the son of Nicomachus, a physician, and Phaestis. Aristotle studied under Plato at Athens, where he also taught from 367 to 347. He later spent three years at the court of a former pupil, Hermeias, in Asia Minor, during which time he married Pythias, one of Hermeias's relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter his time in Mitylene, in 343–2, Aristotle was appointed by King Philip of Macedon to be the tutor of his teenage son, Alexander. Following Philip's death in 336, Aristotle became the head of his own school of \"Peripatetics,\" the Lyceum at Athens. Due to anti-Macedonian sentiment after Alexander's death in 323, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNearly all of the works Aristotle prepared for publication are lost; the invaluable extant works are lecture materials, notes, and memoranda, though some are spurious.
