Greek philosophers including Thales, credited as the first, are said to have studied there: Socrates for 15 years; Plato for 11 years; Aristotle 11 to 13 years; Pythagoras, also a mathematician, 22 or 23 years; as well as Hippocrates, regarded as the founder of medicine, studied there for 20 years.
