Plato's Academy mosaic → ? – The name is not used in scholarly literature as it points to a rather disputable interpretation. There is a wide range of alternatives with a significant amount of writing supporting each and rejecting the rest. Most authors call it the Philosophers' mosaic ,Mosaique des philosophes, Phisophenmosaik. There is also a second mosaic which is generally seen to be a variant on the same topic, so they are frequently discussed together and distinguished by referring to the place where they were found or are presently, thus mentions of Naples, Sarsina, villa Albani, Torre Annunziata etc. Recent work mentioned in the article (Massa-Pairault, Sedley) contains enough references to older mentions. The text of the article should be thoroughly reworked. 79.100.200.28 (talk) 07:35, 5 April 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. ModernDayTrilobite (talkcontribs) 14:41, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
