New research into the Herculaneum Scrolls, a collection of more than 1,800 papyrus scrolls found in the preserved ruins of Herculaneum, near Pompeii, entombed by the volcanic ash of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD, has revealed where Plato the great Athenian philosopher was buried. Where exactly was Plato's Academy, and what is a μουσεῖον?
