"Macedon. 367 BC. Philip II is bringing war to Persia. Forged in the warrior culture of Macedonia, the time has come for his young son Alexander to take up his inheritance of blood and obedience to the sword. It is a training that has made the boy sadistic; fiercely brilliant, but unstable. A dangerous trait in a king fated to rule the vastest empire of the ancient world. Compelled to teach this startling, precocious, sometimes horrifying child, Aristotle soon realises that what the boy needs most to learn - thrown before his time onto his father's battlefields - is the lesson of the g."@en
"As The Golden Mean opens, Aristotle must postpone his dream of succeeding Plato at the Academy in Athens when he is forced to tutor Alexander, a prince of Macedon. At first the philosopher is appalled at living in the brutal backwater of his childhood, but soon he is drawn to the boy's intellectual potential and his capacity for surprise. But is Aristotle's mind any match for the warrior culture that is Alexander's birthright? Told in the frank, earthy and engaging voice of Aristotle himself, and bringing to life a little known time and place, The Golden Mean traces the true story of this remarkable friendship. With sensual and muscular prose, Lyon reveals how Aristotle's genius influenced the boy who would conquer the known world."
