Saint Augustine basically 'rebranded' much of Aristotle's ethical work for Christianity in the 3rd century AD. The connotation changed, for example Aristotle's "ethikos arete" (best ethics) becomes the "virtues" under early catholicism; "virtue" specifically relates to masculine excellence. Terms like 'polis' were removed and replaced with Deus (God).
