Five Dialogues: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo by Plato
informative
reflective
4.0
I could say a lot about each of these dialogues, particularly crito and phaedo as I found those dialogues particularly interesting.
Instead however I'll simply say that for the most parts are very interesting and advanced pieces of work and at the very least can teach you how to efficiently and effectively argue your points.
Being that these dialogues are over 2000 years old they are still obviously flawed in terms of ideas and if Socrates had more of a peer which challenged him more then I feel these would have truly benefited from the intellectual battle.
Overall though regardless on if you see these as historical fact or historical fiction there is still much to be taken and thought about.
