PLATO - The Divine Teacher
Plato is the founder of the Academy. The school founded by this antique philosopher, became a prototype of modern higher education. Contemporaries named him «the divine teacher»: in his works it was spoken about an ideal society structure and immortality of soul. Ancient Greek thinker Plato said, that «time is a moving similarity of eternity».

Plato is credited with starting Idealism with his teachings of only ideas are real and all other things only reflect ideas. According to Plato, the most important idea is the idea of good and using skills of knowledge to serve humanity. His ideas about soul immortality and eternity contributed to the development of Christian theology.
His real name was Aristocles (meaning Excellent glory). Platon means broad "wide". He got this name for two reasons: a) He was a broad-shouldered athlete, b) he was a broad minded person or as I use to say a wide brained thinker and philosopher and I believe he got his name from the second reason.
