Kurt Godel[1] is BY FAR the greatest logician to have ever lived. His status in Logic and Model Theory is GOD-LIKE.
His formulation and proof of Incompleteness Theorems[2] is the greatest achievement in logic, if not in entire mathematics.

I think Plato's philosophies are pretty common. However, that is definitely not an educated opinion. I haven't read very much on it. I
have read/heard the Ancient Greeks were very advanced.
