Show answer
Aristotle
Aristotle served as the personal tutor to Alexander the Great for several years, teaching him subjects ranging from politics to medicine. Philip II was so grateful for these lessons that he reportedly rebuilt Aristotle's hometown of Stagira as a reward for his services. This mentorship is often cited as a key factor in Alexander’s appreciation for Greek culture and scientific inquiry during his later conquests.
