He was the son of Nicomachus, a physician, and Phaestis. Under Plato's tutelage at Athens, he studied and later taught there from 367 to 347 BCE. Subsequently, he spent three years at the court of a former pupil, Hermeias, in Asia Minor. During this time, he married Pythias, one of Hermeias's relations. After some time in Mitylene, he was appointed by King Philip of Macedon in 343–342 BCE to be the tutor of his teen-aged son, Alexander. After Philip's death in 336 BCE, Aristotle became head of his own school (the \"Peripatetics\"), the Lyceum at Athens. Due to anti-Macedonian sentiment, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea after Alexander's death in 323 BCE, where he died in 322 BCE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNearly all the works Aristotle prepared for publication are lost; the priceless extant ones are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda, some of which are spurious.
