Describe Alexander's education.

Throughout Alexander's childhood, the boy was well educated in many areas suitable to a young royal. Alexander's education included learning to sing and play the lyre, hunt, ride, and to debate, and to appreciate epic poetry, mostly as it related to Homer. Like many royals, Alexander had a tutor. Alexander's tutor of three years also happened to be a brilliant student of Plato's, a man named Aristotle. The boy attended a school erected for him by Philip at Mieza near Pella. Oddly enough, Aristotle did not have a long and irreversible impact on Alexander. The two geniuses met and worked together, but there was never the formation of a deep bond or kinship as one might have expected.
