The physician’s son
Aristotle was born in 385-84 BCE in the city of Stagira in the peninsula of Halkidiki in northern Greece. His father was wealthy but died when Aristotle was still very young. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he moved to Athens and joined Plato’s Academy, where he spent the next twenty years. While he was busy with his academic (no pun intended) pursuits, Philip II of Macedon captured Stagira and destroyed the city.
