ΑΚΑΔΗΜΙΑ ΠΛΑΤΩΝΟΣ (Συνοικία) ΑΘΗΝΑ
Academus (Akademos), an Attic hero, who, when Castor and Polydeuces invaded Attica
to liberate their sister Helen, betrayed to them that she was kept concealed at
Aphidnae. For this reason the Tyndarids always showed him much gratitude, and
whenever the Lacedaemonians invaded Attica, they always spared the land belonging
to Academus which lay on the Cephissus, six stadia from Athens. (Plut. Thes. 32;
Diog. Laert. iii. 1.9.) This piece of land was subsequently adorned with plane
and olive plantations (Plut. Cim. 13), and was called Academia from its original
owner.
