Aristotle

__Aristotle__

Aristotle was born in 384 BCE in Stagira, Greece. He died in 322 BCE in Euboea, Greece of a disease in the digestive organs.

Aristotle was a famous mathematician and as some people believe, the first genuine scientist. He believed that the heavier the object the faster it falls but was proven wrong by Galileo, who dropped a musket ball with a cannon ball from the top of a tower in front of the people of Greece and everyone saw they landed at the same time ! As wel l as science, Aristotle was interested in, poetry, music, theatre, logic, metaphysics, rhetoric, ethics and politics.

Alexander the Great became a student of Aristotle in 343BCE and took much advice from his teacher despite a falling out near the end of Alexander’s life. Aristotle was also a teacher of Ptolemy and Cassander, who would both eventually be crowned kings.
