The details of Aristotle's life are not well-established. The biographies written in ancient times are often speculative. Aristotle, whose name means "the best purpose" in Ancient Greek, was born in 384 BC. His father was the personal physician to king Amyntas of Macedon. While he was young, Aristotle learned about biology and medical information, which was taught by his father. His parents died when he was about thirteen, and Proxenus became his guardian. Although little information about Aristotle's childhood has survived, he probably spent some time within the Macedonian palace, making his first connections with the Macedonian monarchy. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Aristotle moved to Athens to continue his education at Plato's academy. He probably experienced the Elusinian mysteries - religious rites - as he wrote when describing the sights one viewed at the Eleusinian Mysteries, "to experience is to learn" Aristotle remained in Athens for nearly twenty years before leaving in 348/47 BC. The traditional story about his departure records that he was disappointed with the Academy's direction after control passed to Plato's nephew. Aristotle travelled with his pupil Theophrastus to the island of Lesbos, where together they researched the botany and zoology of the island and its sheltered lagoon. In 343 BC, Aristotle was invited by Philip to become the tutor to his son Alexander. Aristotle was appointed as the head of the royal academy of Macedon. During Aristotle's time and he gave lessons not only to Alexander but also to two other future kings: Ptolemy and Cassander. Aristotle encouraged Alexander toward eastern conquest, and Aristotle's own attitude towards Persia was ethnocentric. By 335 BC, Aristotle had returned to Athens, establishing his own school there known as the Lyceum, literally means knowledge tower. Aristotle conducted courses at the school for the next twelve years. This period in Athens, between 335 and 323 BC, is when Aristotle is believed to have composed many of his works. He wrote many dialogues, which are generally thought to be lecture aids for his students. Aristotle studied and made significant contributions to "logic, metaphysics, mathematics, physics, biology, botany, ethics, politics, agriculture, medicine, dance, and theatre. What a versatile personality he was!
