The article is devoted to the consideration of the views of three prominent thinkers of the heyday of ancient Greek philosophy and political and legal thought regarding the image of ideal rulers and the possible perfect forms of the state in this regard. Based on the analysis of the extant memories of Socrates, who did not write works, as well as the works of Plato and Aristotle, it becomes obvious that, despite the presence of certain differences, in many respects their views are identical. All these thinkers advocated that the rulers should be educated knowledgeable people with high moral qualities. The knowledge gained in the course of training leads to wisdom that allows you to avoid mistakes, and the awareness of a person's duty is directed in the management of the state not to obtain their own benefits, but for the common good.
