Arguably Jesus is the most well-known ancient figure in the western world (assuming he actually did exist) and pretty much all he did during his life was being nice to people
Devil’s advocate: Plato is probably well-known for being Aristotle’s master, and Aristotle is probably well-known because he was the mentor of fucking Alexander the Great. So one could argue that the basis of western philosophy was set by a murderous emperor
Not that I’m advocating being a dick, but very few if any persons from antiquity are remembered for being kind. Case in point: Ea Nasir

Be nice to people, be a dick to fig trees
