ABSTRACT

Academy PLATO’s school in Athens, closed 529 CE. Scholars generally divide its history in three phases, with “Middle” commencing with EUDŌROS OF ALEXANDRIA, and “Late” or “Neo” commencing with PLŌTINOS. An emphasis on, or at least admiration for, mathematics and astronomy persisted. No actual institution existed from ca 88 BCE to ca 410 CE; we nevertheless list here both all those attested to have been members or adherents of the school.
