Professor Edith Hall

Must have been incredibly difficult.

Well, he would have definitely taught him ethics, politics and rhetoric. This is a sort of curriculum, how to behave.

How to govern your country and how to speak in public. Yes, this has been the basis of it. But we simply don't know. And everything that Aristotle wrote after... Alexander went east, Philip died, and Alexander went east. And Aristotle went straight back to Athens and founded the Lyceum. Everything he wrote after, he never really talks about Macedonia.

He does talk about things like really evil, very rich people. Or what happens in tyrants' households. You know, that kind of thing. But he doesn't put names to it, usually.

No, because Alexander the Great we know even less about than Aristotle. All the sources are so late. And myths were being made because he died out there. He never came back. He crossed the Hellespont and never came back. He liked being on campaign with all his male mates and drinking himself stupid. I mean, he did. And I think that's one thing Oliver Stone got over quite well in that movie.

He liked that life. He never wanted to come back and be a responsible ruler.

I completely get it. He didn't want to go back to all those old rivalries. But that's called the Lyceum. And because Theophrastus was natural science and he did it with Theophrastus. So he brings Theophrastus with him. Utterly loyal to Theophrastus, yes. They do it together.

Well, not as a returning hero, I don't think, but as a perfectly welcome resident alien. He never got citizenship. Never, really? But I think he got loads of money. I have to say this. I think he was very sensible that he will have been paid extremely well. Being with Philip of Macedon's court. So he took that money and ran and stayed alive and ran. And then put some money into the school.
