It is very odd, that scholars are at a lost as to how to order the dialogs, while ignoring what Plato tells them, in the dialog itself, which order a certain number of them go in. Those with shorter attention spans sometimes read a compilations named like, The Trial and Death of Socrates, however, Plato wrote a series of dialogs which start on the day Socrates went to trial, which can be called The Apollo Dialogs, which can be found in the last dialog. There are seven of these dialogs. There is at least one Web source which said that this trip from Athens to Delos and back took thirty days. This time in Athens is also known as the Festival of Apollo. It is also said, that the bulk of his time in prison at this time, Socrates was composing music.
I will be working on The Epics, The Best and the Worst of Men,
The Republic puts the best of men in the worst of circumstances, i.e., what people call Plato's Ideal State, is, by his own words, the worst hell he could imagine.
The next epic is Laws, where Plato puts the most horrendous person in the best of circumstances. In this dialog, one will not even find any reference whatsoever to dialectic.
However, there is a recantation in the last book of both epics.
