Clement of Alexandria was a Christian theologian and philosopher known for his teachings at the Catechetical School of Alexandria. He was well-educated in classical Greek philosophy and literature, drawing influence from figures such as Plato and the Stoics. Clement argued for the non-Greek origins of Greek philosophy and demonstrated knowledge of pre-Christian Jewish esotericism and Gnosticism in his works. Recognized as a Church Father and saint in multiple Christian traditions, his veneration in the Eastern Orthodox Church ended in the 10th century.
