Plato was born around 428 B.C. His father Ariston died when he was a child. His mother Perictione remarried the politician Pyrilamp. Ploto grew up during the Peloponnesian war. He was educated in philosophy, poetry and gymnastics by distinguished Athenian teachers including the philosopher Cratylus. He became a devoted follower of Socrates. Plato’s recollections of Socrates’ lived-out philosophy and style of relentless questioning became the basis for his early dialogues, which historians agree offer the most accurate available picture of the elder philosopher, who left no written works of his own. Ploto spent 12 years traveling around Italy, Sicily and Egypt. While he was traveling hyena was studying with other philosophers. He also followed followers of mystic mathematician Pythagoras. The 40 year old Plato returned to Athens and found his school in the clutch of the Greek hero Academus. Plato's final years were spent at the Academy and with his writing. The circumstances surrounding his death are clouded, though it is fairly certain that he died in Athens around 348 B.C. Many people think Plato died at a wedding some other people think he died peacefully in his sleep.
