Using the dialectical method (meaning dialogue) he started from a less precise definition and reached a more precise, valid and universal definition of concepts through intense dialogues with his interlocutors. Shortly after Plato died, Aristotle left Athens and, at the request of Philip II of Macedon, tutored Alexander the Great beginning in 343 BC. Along with his teacher Plato, he is considered the “Father of Western Philosophy.” His writings cover many subjects and provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing before him.

Townley's description; ‘A head bearing a helmet, and placed upon a Terminus, with the name of Pericles, thus inscribed upon it, ПΕΡΙΚΛΕΣ. The portrait of this great warrior and legislator was not known in these days, until this Terminus, and another similar to it , but of a more modern style of sculpture, were discovered 1780 at the pianella [sic, for Pianura] di Cassio before mentioned’ (TY 12/3, street drawing room 20). The inscription actually reads ΠΕΡΙΚΛΗΣ. However, Philip’s reign was principally marked by an unsuccessful struggle with the emerging power of the Roman Republic. Before the Hellenistic period (i.e. after Alexander’s death in 323 BC), ancient Greek sculptors did not strive to create realistic portraits. They tended to create more idealized representations, such as the famous bust of Themistocles. Greek portraits probably did not reproduce the subject accurately. The Greeks were not like the Romans, who excelled when it came to the creation of realistic portraits of people. A. H.

Piety had, for Athenians, a broad meaning. It included not just respect for the gods, but also for the dead and ancestors. The impious individual was seen as a contaminant who, if not controlled or punished, might bring upon the city the wrath of the gods--Athena, Zeus, or Apollo--in the form of plague or sterility. The ritualistic religion of Athens included no scripture, church, or priesthood. Rather, it required--in addition to belief in the gods-- observance of rites, prayers, and the offering of sacrifices. This bust depicts Philip V King of Macedon wearing a Phrygian-style helmet, which was common among the Macedonians. Philip V was king from 221 to 179 BC. A. M. Nielsen, ‘Det Graeske Ansigt’, in A.M.
