There is an interesting teaching lineage here. Philip of Macedonia (Alexander's father) was mostly self-taught, but he saw to it that his son had the best education possible; so he obtained the services of the great Aristotle. Aristotle had been a student of Plato who, in turn, had been a student of Socrates. So Alexander was the beneficiary of an amazing academic heritage.
