Subsequently  he spent three years in Asia Minor at the court of his former pupil  Hermeias, where he married Pythias, one of Hermeias’ relations. After  some time at Mitylene, he was appointed in 343\/2 by King Philip of  Macedon to be tutor of his teen-aged son Alexander. After Philip’s death  in 336, Aristotle became head of his own school (of  “Peripatetics”),  the Lyceum at Athens. Because of anti-Macedonian feeling there after  Alexander’s death in 323, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he  died the following year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eProblems\u003c\/i\u003e, the third-longest work  in the Aristotelian corpus, contains thirty-eight books covering more  than 900 problems about living things, meteorology, ethical and  intellectual virtues, parts of the human body, and other topics.  Although \u003ci\u003eProblems\u003c\/i\u003e is an accretion of multiple authorship over  several centuries, it offers a fascinating technical view of Peripatetic  method and thought.
