Statue of Aristotle, Assos, Turkey
Modern statue of Aristotle, 384-322 BC, Greek philosopher, at the town entrance of Assos, Turkey. The city was founded from 1000 to 900 BC by Aeolian colonists from Lesbos. Aristotle (joined by Xenocrates) went to Assos, where he was welcomed by King Hermias, and opened an Academy in this city, where he led an influential group of philosophers. The statue is broken and the right hand is missing. Picture by Manuel Cohen
