What are the five greatest Platonic dialogues?

I nominate:
>Phaidon
>Sophist
>Parmenides
>Timaios
>Theaetetos

>> No.13984586

I didn't like Timaios. Phaidon is the undisputed first from those I have read.

Protagoras is my favorite. I'm mostly interested in ethics, so the discussion about virtue is very interesting to me.
And for some reason, of all those who debated Socrates in the Platonic dialogues, Protagoras is the one that I liked the most.

I didnt find I got much out of Symposium as much as Gorgias or others. Did I do something wrong?
