The stadion (plural stadia, Ancient Greek: στάδιον; latinized as stadium; also anglicized as stade), was an ancient Greek unit of length, consisting of 600 Ancient Greek feet (podes). There are a range of varieties or understandings of what a stadion was and is; these have been calculated by various historians (of various qualities), and those calculations have varied dramatically (as did perhaps the use and meaning of the term stadion over time in Ancient Greece). Thus, the exact length of one stadion is not known or universally agreed today: historians estimate it at between 150 m and 210 m, with perhaps something of a convergence around the 185 metre length of an Attic stade.

👉 Stadia (length) in the context of Academus
Academus (/ˌækəˈdiːməs/; Ancient Greek: Ἀκάδημος, romanized: Akádemos), also Hecademus (Ancient Greek: Ἑκάδημος, romanized: Hekádemos), was an Attic hero in Greek mythology. The site of Academus, either a grove or a park, which became known as Akademeia, lies on the Cephissus, six stadia from Athens. He is the namesake of the Academy founded by Plato, who taught his students at the site, and as such of the modern English word academy, signifying an institution of higher learning.
