	A Note on the Life and Work of Aristotle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
		Aristotle's father, Nicomachus, was evidently the court physician and close advisor to Amyntas II, King of Macedonia.
		Upon the death of Amyntas II in 370 BC, the Macedonian royal family launched a characteristically bloody internecine quarrel which did not end until five years later.
		By this time, Nicomachus was dead, perhaps because of his friendship with and loyalty to the sons of Amyntas, and Aristotle, now a teenager, had moved to Athens, brought there in 367 BC by his guardian Proxenus, the husband of Aristotle's sister, Arimneste, possibly in response to the dangerous political climate in Macedonia.
