| | A Note on the Life and Work of Aristotle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | He was born in 384 BC in Stageira, a small community in Chalcidice, in the northeast part of what is now mainland Greece, remote from Athens. |
 | | In 343 BC he returned to Macedonia, supposedly to serve as the principal tutor of Alexander, the son of King Philip. |
 | | The fourth, and final phase of Aristotle's life began with his return to Athens in 335 BC, immediately after the assassination of King Philip (in 336 BC), the accession of Alexander, and the latter's brutally swift reassertion of Macedonian dominion over the Greek city states (Athens was forced to submit in 335 BC). |
