About

In 342 BC in the wilds of northern Greece, the greatest scientific mind to grace the ancient world collides with the most formidable conqueror history will ever know. A battle of wits unfolds between Aristotle, a radical Athenian philosopher, and a highly precocious, teenaged Alexander the Great, raising the question of whom, exactly, is teaching whom?
