Plato founds the Academy
A school in the grove of Akademos names every academy to come
Around 387 BC Plato began teaching philosophy in the grove of the hero Akademos outside the walls of Athens; Aristotle studied there for twenty years. The Platonist school lasted into Roman times, and the revived Academy was closed by Emperor Justinian in AD 529.
