Diogenes said so (D.L. 3.41). But they didn't know exactly where. Presumably, they still don't, but they're a bit closer. 3.41 He [Plato] was buried in the Academy, where he spent the greatest part of his life in philosophical study. And hence the school which he founded was called the Academic school. And all the students there joined in the funeral procession. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
