He was the son of Nicomachus, a physician, and Phaestis. Aristotle studied under Plato at Athens and taught there between 367–347 BCE. Subsequently, he 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 a period at Mitylene, Aristotle was appointed by King Philip of Macedon in 343–342 BCE to be the tutor of his teen-aged son, Alexander. Following Philip's death in 336 BCE, Aristotle became the head of his own school, the Lyceum at Athens, known as the \"Peripatetics.\" Due to anti-Macedonian sentiment after Alexander's death in 323 BCE, Aristotle withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he passed away in 322 BCE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNearly all of the works Aristotle prepared for publication have been lost; however, the invaluable works that remain are lecture materials, notes, and memoranda, some of which are spurious.
