Aristotle and Alexander (Eskandar) fell out before Alexander went to Persia.

Alexander (Eskandar) died in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar II in Babylon between the evening of 10 June and the evening of 11 June 323 BC, at the age of 32. It was most likely from Typhoid.

Aristotle died 322 BC (about a year later), about 62 years old.

Jaffa is about 1200 miles from Athens and Babylon about 300 more.

Six years after Alexander's death there was a claim by Plutarch that Aristotle (dead five years) had organised poisoning of Alexander. There has never been any evidence.
In the week before his death, historical accounts mention chills, sweats, exhaustion and high fever, typical symptoms of infectious diseases, including typhoid fever. Scholars think it likely he died of typhoid fever, though malaria is possible.

The poisoning theory seems to have arisen some years after his death. perhaps as political attack on family of Antipater.


I think the Blurb is confusing.
