Aristotle was born in the ancient city of Stagira, Greece. Stagira was located along the country’s northern coast and also served as a seaport. The town was founded by people from Andros, and, at one time, Xerxes I of Persia occupied the town. The city was later under the administration of Athens after joining the Delian League. However, Stagira withdrew her membership from the Delian League in pursuit of self-determination. Athens attacked Stagira as a result, and, during the Peloponnesian War, the city joined and supported Sparta against Athens.
The city was later destroyed in the Olynthian War by Philip II of Macedon after he occupied the territory. As a favor, Philip decided to rebuild the city after Aristotle provided tutoring services to Philip’s son, Alexander. Philip resettled displaced natives of Stagira and made efforts to build new structures within the city. Philip’s son and Aristotle’s student went on to become Alexander the Great after he ascended to power.
