Plato’s Academy Translation: Masoud Omar
There was an area on the edge of the city of Athens, which was a continuously inhabited area from prehistoric times to the 6th century. One of the three important stadiums of Athens was built in this area in the 19th century.

In 387 AD. Z. In the year Plato, whose house was near the Academy and whose garden was built in its courtyard, established his philosophical school in this area. This school gained a lot of fame, especially because of the Platonic philosophy and the new Platonists there, and it was used until 526 AD, when it was closed by the Emperor Justinian.
