How would you classify Plato’s works by level of difficulty?
I have already read Apologia and Republica with grammar commentary and I would like to continue with other texts, but I don’t know which texts should I read?

Here’s what I wrote you a month ago.
The Crito would be a good choice to start with, then perhaps the Ion, and when you’re ready for something longer and more challenging, the Phaedo or the Symposium. The Apology, as you probably know, is not at all typical of Plato’s work, since it’s not a dialogue. And be warned: much of the rest of his work is extremely difficult.
