Perhaps the most famous ancient Greek in history, Socrates (d. 399 BC/BCE) faced numerous challenges in his career as citizen, husband, soldier, father, and of course philosopher. As he is reported to have said, his life's goal (and it was a foremost challenge) was to sting his fellow Athenians awake, like a gadfly, so as to pursue wisdom rather than material wealth or fame. That he was tried, found guilty, then executed in the Athenian legal system for his philosophical activities indicates the seriousness of this challenge for him.
