So at 13, his sister takes him in. He goes to sort of live with his uncle. Well, it's his brother-in-law. His brother-in-law, sorry. His older brother-in-law. Right. And they're in Turkey. They're in northwest Turkey. So the Greek world as we know it isn't just Athens and Sparta.

What's interesting about Aristotle, he doesn't have a kind of rebellious bad boy phase. He's not wearing a leather jacket with his tunic. Okay. It's not really a good look anyway, but, you know, he's not doing that. Instead, he's absolutely excelling everywhere.
