Intellectual Pursuits of the Hellenistic Age
Throughout the Hellenistic period (323–31 B.C. ), Athens remained the leading center for the study of philosophy, fostering several famous philosophical schools ( 1993.342 ). The first to be established in the first half of the fourth century B.C. were Plato's Academy, and Aristotle's Peripatos, a place for walking, built on the site of a grove sacred to Apollo Lykeios. In the second half of the fourth century B.C., Zeno of Citium (335–263 B.C. ) established his Stoic school of philosophy, named for his teaching platform, the stoa, or arcade, in the Athenian Agora. Around the same time, Epikouros (341–270 B.C. ) developed his philosophical school, the Kepos, named after the garden in Athens where he taught ( 11.90 ). The schools, as some of their names imply, were less buildings than collections of people sharing a similar philosophy of life ( 10.231.1 ). They were devoted to gaining and imparting knowledge. The Cynics were another philosophical group that had no meeting place. Rather, they roamed the streets and public places of Athens.
