Greek Philosophers they may not depends on Vedas, because vedas are borne in India.
Every country is having their own primitive texts. Greek Philosophy, body of philosophical concepts developed by the Greeks, particularly during the flowering of Greek civilization between 600 and 200 bc.

Definitely not directly. There isn't the slightest evidence that any of the Greek philosophers ever studied Sanskrit, or that the Vedas at that time were translated into Greek. (Most of the Greek philosophers, at least the early ones, considered almost all non-Greek peoples as barbaric and had no interest in learning their languages or cultures.)

The Greeks were in contact, however, with both Persia and Egypt, and both of these had cultural and economic contacts with India that were already quite ancient in the era of Socrates. From these sources, some indirect knowledge of the Vedas may have reached and influenced some of the Greeks. This sort of thing is almost impossible to trace reliably.

The Greeks borrowed their philosophy from the Egyptians.

The early Greeks all studied in Egypt.

The early Greek philosophers were all persecuted, killed, or driven out by their government because they were "corrupting the youth" by introducing foreign ideas (from Egypt).
