Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”

<strong>THE</strong> LIFE OF <strong>ARISTOTLE</strong> 37<br />
to Aristotle to enjoy his retirement long. In the<br />
following year, that is, in the summer of 322 B.C. 1 , he<br />
succumbed to a disease from which he had long suffered. 2<br />
So it chanced that of his two great contemporaries<br />
he survived Alexander <strong>by</strong> less than a year, and<br />
predeceased Demosthenes only <strong>by</strong> a short interval.<br />
His<br />
body is said to have been taken to Stagira. 3 His last<br />
will is preserved to us, 4 and it is a monument of his<br />

Apollod. ap. Diog. 10, V.<br />
Mwre. 3, Amman. Latin. 12,<br />
and Dion. Hip. ad Amm. i. 6, give<br />
01. 114, 3 as the year. It was<br />
about the time of Demosthenes'<br />
death (Apollod. ioid.~), but a<br />
little earlier (Gell. JV. A. xvii.<br />
21, 35). As that date is given<br />
<strong>by</strong> Plut. {Bern. 30) as the 10th<br />
of Pyanepsion 01. 114, 3 = Oct. 14,<br />
322, Aristotle must have died between<br />
July and Sept. of that year.<br />
2<br />
That he died <strong>by</strong> illness is<br />
stated <strong>by</strong> Apollod. and Dionys.<br />
ut supra; of. Gell. xiii. 5, 1.<br />
Censorin. (JDi. Nat. 14, 1 6) adds<br />

corporis offensiones adeo vi/rtute<br />
animi din sustentasse, ut magis<br />
mirwn sit ad annos setcagmta tres<br />
eum vitam protulisse, quam ultra<br />
non pertulisse. The statement<br />
of Eumelus ap. Diog. 6 (de quo<br />
v. p. 2, n. 2, p. 6, n. 3 supra) followed<br />
<strong>by</strong> the Anon. Menag. and<br />
Suidas, that he poisoned himself<br />
with hemlock, or (as Hesych. has<br />
it) that he was condemned to<br />
drink hemlock, is probably a confusion<br />
with the death of Demosthenes<br />
or of Socrates. It cannot<br />
be historic, because the best<br />
evidence is against it, because it<br />
is contrary to Aristotle's own<br />
principles (Mh. N. ii. 11, 1116 a,<br />
12, v. 15 init., ix. 4, 1166 b, 11),<br />
and because it does not fit the<br />
circumstances, for in Eubcea he<br />
was in no danger. The tale (found<br />
only in ^Ilias Ceetensis, p.<br />
507 D) that he threw himself into<br />
the Euripus because he could not<br />
discover the causes of his visions,<br />
and the variant of the same in<br />
Justin, cohort. 36, Greg. Naz.<br />
Or. iv. 112, or ProCOP. De Bello<br />
Oath. iv. 579, that his fruitless<br />
meditations on a vision wore him<br />
out with worry and fatigue, need<br />
no refutation, though Bayle (art.<br />
Aristotle, n. Z) thinks the latter a<br />
fitting end ; cf . Stahr, i. 155.<br />
