Socrates, one of the most recognized Greek philosophers today, at least in the Western world. For phrases like: "I just know I don't know anything."
In the following video there is an allegation, apparently his, about democracy.

Shoutout to Marcus Aurelius, he'd love to see all the wankers that've butchered the real meaning of Stoicism.
& yeah, I know he was Roman, not Greek, but the Romans pretty much copied the Greek Pantheon

Socrates (c. 470–399 BCE) is widely regarded as a foundational figure in Western philosophy because he shifted intellectual inquiry away from speculation about the physical cosmos and toward rigorous examination of human life—ethics, justice, knowledge, and the responsibilities of citizenship. Rather than leaving written treatises, he practiced philosophy as a public discipline, using probing dialogue and cross-examination (often called the Socratic method) to expose contradictions in received opinions and to press interlocutors toward clearer definitions and better-justified beliefs. His insistence that moral concepts must withstand rational scrutiny, his view that an unexamined life is not worth living, and his readiness to accept death rather than abandon his principles together established enduring standards for philosophical integrity and critical reasoning. Through the accounts of Plato and others, Socrates’ example became a template for intellectual humility, ethical seriousness, and the idea that truth-seeking is inseparable from how one ought to live.
