My impression is that Buddhism could hardly be more different than Ancient Greek philosophy. If there's a parallel between Buddhism and some Western tradition, it's to Gnosticism. Or perhaps various Judeo-Christian traditions that encouraged ascetism.

I recommend Vervaeke's meaning crisis series which draws connections between Buddhism, ancient Greek philosophy, Gnosticism, neoplatonism, etc. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLND1JCRq8Vuh3f0P5qjrSdb5eC1ZfZwWJ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLND1JCRq8Vuh3f0P5qjrS...
