He tough Plato in 428-348 BC, was his most famous student and would teach Aristotle in 384-322 BC ,who would then tutor Alexander the Great in 356-323 BC. By this progression, Greek philosophy, as first developed by Socrates.

It seems to me that the god has attached me like that to the state, for I am constantly alighting upon you at every point to arouse, persuade, and reporach each of you all day long. (Apology 30e)
