It is likely that Aristotle was acting as an ambassador for Philip and he certainly was treated as such by Hermias. Aristotle married Pythias, the niece and adopted daughter of Hermias, and they had one child, a daughter also called Pythias. However, Aristotle's wife died about 10 years after their marriage.
Ito ay malamang na Aristotle ay kumikilos bilang isang kinatawan para sa Philip at siya tiyak ay itinuturing bilang tulad ng Hermias. Aristotle kasal Pythias, ang pamangking babae at ampon na anak na babae ng Hermias, at sila ay nagkaroon ng isang anak, isang anak na babae din na tinatawag na Pythias. Gayunman, Aristotle's asawa namatay tungkol sa 10 taon matapos ang kanilang kasal.
