Question

This person is the oldest in a series of supposed letters documented in the Arabic manuscript Secret of Secrets. Plutarch hinted that this person engaged in a poisoning plot after a ruler executed this person’s great-nephew Callisthenes. This native of Stagira refused to let Athens “sin twice” and fled to Euboea (“yoo-BEE-ah”) after receiving impiety charges. (-5[1])This person taught that barbarians and slaves were identical to a student he took under the patronage of Philip II. A cloister (10[3])where this (10[1])person and his students walked lends its name to the Peripatetic school (-5[1])he founded at the Lyceum. For 10 points, name this tutor to Alexander (10[1])the Great, (10[1])a Greek philosopher (10[3])who wrote the Nicomachean Ethics. ■END■ (10[1])
