Ancient Athenian philosopher (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

socrates

(Other definitions for socrates that I've seen before include "Philosophical Greek" , "Gk. philosopher, took hemlock" , "sage from Greece" , "Legendary footballer" , "Plato's mentor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald.
