Answer:

Socrates and Aristotle belong to ANCIENT GREECE while Plato is from CLASSICAL GREECE.

All the 3 were philosophers .

Socrates’ main interests were ethics & Epistemology.

Aristotle’s mainly focused on Sciences like- biology,zoology,physics,meta physics,geology,logic ,and also on music,poetry…etc.

Plato on the other hand interested much in literature,education,society,love,friendship,rhetoric,arts etc.

Socrates was also a hoplite who took part in the famous Peloponnesian war , whereas the other 2 didn’t.

Socrates was the teacher of Plato,in turn,Plato was the teacher of Aristotle, and Aristotle’s most famous student was “ALEXANDER THE GREAT.”

Socrates died after drinking hemlock.

Aristotle died naturally due to a stomach disease.

Plato ,perhaps , died in his sleep while a Thracian girl played flute to him or he died at a wedding feast.

In conclusion, all the 3 of them were unique in their own kind and their greatness can never be matched.
