DescriptionThe statue of Aristotle near the entrance, The School of Aristotle (The Lyceum) (7263459844).jpg |
En 342/2 BC, Philipp King of Macedon invited the philosopher Aristotle to Mieza to tutor this 13 year old son, Alexander. Aristotle, the great thinker, scientist and philosopher who was to be hailed as the world's greatest intellectual figure was not yet particularly well known, but he enjoyed a distinguished reputation in Athens and elsewhere. The « School », as Plutarch calls it, was established in the Nymphaion, a sanctuary dedicated to the water nymphs, near the city of Mieza, in an enchanting location with luxuriant vegetation and natural springs, which is equally idyllic even today. Alexander and a select circle of students, all scions of noble Macedonian families, attended the School for two years. Her, in the shady covered walks and on the stone seats mentioned by Plutarch, the future world ruler was initiated into philosophy and poetry, mathematics and the natural sciences; and we know that he carried with him a copy of the Iliad with Aristotle had given him with a handwritten dedication until the end of his life and found it an inexhaustible source of inspiration. In 340 BC, the 16 year old student left the School and returned to Pella in order to act as regent while his father was away in Perinthos and Byzantion. Although the School operated for such a short time, hos bond with his mentor remained strong, as did the influence of Aristotelian thought on his education, his philosophy of lief regarding ethics and politics, and the development of his personality, one of the most fascinating personalities in the ancient world. |
