This is an amazing Story of a Greek philosopher, Aristotle. One of the most famous around the world from his times and from any ancient era from Greece.
There is lot to learn from his life from this book which in itself an anthology of events in his life which were taken from multiple books to create such fine graphic book. I like memoirs & biographies of people who succeeded in their life and influence others as well in positive manner. There is so much about his personal as well as social life. How he spent days away from home to educate his surroundings and how he became important in Greece in the league of Socrates and Plato.
There is so much common in the learnings of Greeks that lined in with Indians so I do not want to mention that too much considering any controversies, but for facts, the theories that had been given in Greece at that time, were already recorded centuries back in Indian Vedic texts, which were religious as well as scientific. For Eg. Even when whole world believed the earth as a center of universe (back then it was like that not solar system, which in itself explains everything), we in India, found and worshipped Sun and always kept it in the center of Navgraha. Even when solar system was named, as is so, there were not complete discovery to westerners, of all 9 planets. However, we Indians worshipped all nine heavenly bodies already and basis on their movement our Hindu calendar formed, back then, since 7000BC. We always knew solar eclipses and didn’t allowed free movements but when NASA said so, all aligned. During an eclipse, Hindus considered themselves unclean; they bathe and offer prayers to ancestors. Nevertheless, they tagged us superstitious; however, for scientific facts only water can relieve from the bad rays, say, scattering of mesons. We knew all the time a difference between scattering and dispersion. In addition, an impact during that time of the sun’s rays which if not annihilate, scattered to affect deformities of childbirth in pregnant women.
One more thing that was lied here was that, Alexander who won whole Asia. For facts, Alexander never won India or any of her territories back then, be it Indonesia or Malaysia or Thailand, etc. and China and Russia too. So, why was he mentioned here so as the Conqueror of Asia?
I liked his OG concept of ‘Entelechy’ and ‘Four Causes’.
I really appreciate though the jokes and humour cast in this graphic biopic book. Some are hilarious. If not to be taken as misogynistic, I would love to quote from book “ONE WOMAN WASN’T ENOUGH FOR YOU! OH, YOU SCULPTORS!” and “YOU KNOW, IF | HAD TO PAINT THEM, |’D SHOW PLATO POINTING AT THE SKY AND ARISTOTLE AT THE EARTH!” and “WE HAVE MISTRESSES FOR PLEASURE, CONCUBINES FOR DAILY LIFE, AND WIVES TO RUN THE HOUSEHOLD AND TO GIVE US CHILDREN.”
To be all enough to give me good time reading it, I would like to rate it 4.0/5.0
