The Greeks developed many new ideas; some were highly influential and well-accepted and some were very controversial. They founded the Academy in Greece. [[Socrates]] became the first notable teacher in the Academy. He believed that improvement of the soul and questioning of everything was a necessity to learning. He was forced to drink poison hemlock because he questioned Athenian authority. His greatest student was [[Plato]], who believed reason was the key to knowledge.
