Three years later, King Philip died, and Alexander the Great ascended the throne. Having proven his military prowess already during the conquest of Greece, Alexander marched off to conquer Greece's ancient foe Persia, leaving Aristotle's friend Antipater behind as governor of Greece. It was at this time, around 335, that Aristotle returned to Athens to found his own school, called variously the <I><B>Perípatos</B></I> (after the <I>peripatos</I> , the colonnade where the school met) or the <I><B>Lyceum</B></I> (after the public olive grove of Apollo Lykeios, where the gymnasium housing the <I>peripatos</I> was located).

The grove was sacred to Apollo Lyceius. Owing to his habit of walking about the grove while lecturing his students, the school and its students acquired the label of Peripatetics (Greek <I>peri</I>, “around,” and <I>patein</I>, “to walk”). The <I>perípatos</I> was the covered walkway (colonnade) of the Lyceum. </div> <bR> <div> Plato himself had previously lived in a house and garden nearby.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>While Alexander the Great was conquering Asia</U></B>, Aristotle, now 50 years old, was in CityplaceAthens. Just outside the city boundary, he established his own school in a gymnasium known as the Lyceum.
