Aristotle was a Greek philosopher. He studied physics, poetry, music, logic, linguistics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology. When Aristotle tutored Alexander the Great, Alexander most likely listened to him very carefully. Alexander the Great was a very good student. They spent three years together, and Alexander could even teach things to Aristotle. When Alexander the Great became king of Macedonia and Greece, he used the information that Aristotle gave him to conquer the world. Aristotle was a very smart man and influenced Alexander the Great. He must have been a great teacher because of all the knowledge he had.  Alexander did not seem to be as concerned as Aristotle was about science, but he still used it in his way of life. He was particularly interested in the art of medicine, though. He sent samples of wildlife samples and materials to Aristotle after he conquered a place. All of the things that Aristotle told him made a major impact on him. Alexander the Great probably used different methods that Aristotle taught him for his army to be the best. Aristotle taught him about ethics, which Alexander probably used to rule his empire. He conquered the entire Persian Empire with the knowledge that Aristotle taught him because Aristotle encouraged Alexander to conquer the east. Alexander the Great probably listened to Aristotle very well that he convinced himself things. He ended up suspecting plots against himself and threatening Aristotle for what he had taught him. They were both extremely smart people that changed the ancient world.
