Orations
Aristotle's native village, which he sought unsuccessfully to have resettled as a city.
And I sometimes used to count Aristotle blessed, who, being a Stagirite — and Stagira was a village of the territory of Olynthus — when Olynthus had been taken, by his association with Alexander and Philip brought it about that the place was settled again, and I used to say that he alone had this good fortune, of becoming the founder of his fatherland.
