Answer:

Socrates is the ancient Greek philosopher that had taught Plato.

Explanation:

Socrates (469/470-399 BCE) was a Greek philosopher and is considered the father of western philosophy. Plato (l. c. 428-348 BCE) was his most famous student and would teach Aristotle (l. 384-322 BCE) who would then tutor Alexander the Great (l. 356-323 BCE).
