Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Each was the student of the one before him.
Alexander the Great, though educated, was not known for any philosophical contributions.
Zeno was a philosopher, but he wasn't back-to-back-to-back with them.

Answer: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle

The three great philosophers that appeared back-to-back in Greek civilization were Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.

Socrates was a philosopher in Ancient Athens who was convicted of corrupting the youth and punished by death. He used the famous Socratic method of teaching.

Plato was a student of Socrates, known for his famous treatise The Republic. Aristotle, in turn, was Plato's student (and also tutor of Alexander the Great, the Macedonian king).
