I believe the answer is:

plato

(Other definitions for plato that I've seen before include "Greek philosopher, disciple of Aristotle" , "Teacher of Aristotle, pupil of Socrates" , "Republic author" , "Greek character" , "Ancient Greek philosopher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
