This episode digs into the Lyceum — Aristotle's school in Athens — and its fate after his death. We explore the physical site, its library, the Peripatetic method of walking and teaching, and the dramatic survival of Aristotle's works through Neleus of Skepsis, Apellicon of Teos, and Andronicus of Rhodes. Lucas explains how the Lyceum rivaled Plato's Academy, the roles of Theophrastus and Strato of Lampsacus, and the rediscovery of Aristotle's esoteric writings that shaped medieval philosophy. Luna asks about the covered walkways, the library's journey to a cellar in Skepsis, and the mysterious Apellicon. We also touch on the lost dialogues of Aristotle and the Lyceum's decline under the Roman Empire. A story of scholarship, subterfuge, and survival.
