History & Culture : Aristotle

Aristotle as a person had many loyal friends and great rivals too. (Epikouros, Timaios, Evoulidis, e.t.c) because they were jealous of his superiority and felt that his presence renders them null. For that they tried to defame him in every possible way. They tried to present him as avaricious, lush, scheming, devious, they even claimed that he organized the assassination of Alexander the Great, e.t.c
On the contrary, however, from credible sources we learn that Aristotle was the incarnation of the proper and right measure in everything he did in his life. His innate nobility and tenderness of his soul is found diffused in his will, which according to it he takes care of his parents and brother memory, he does not forget the family of his parental friend Proxenos who raised him. He also takes care of his wife Erpyllida and their son, Nikomahos. Furthermore, he takes care of Pythiada, his first-born child. However his benevolence is obvious in his will where he demands not to sale any of his servants, but instead to set them free at their adulthood.
