Plato
Generally, the works which are most often assigned to Plato's early years are all considered to be Socratic dialogues (written from 399 to 387), but many of his Middle dialogues (written from 387 to 361, after the establishment of his Academy), and Later dialogues (written in the period between 361 and his death in 347) incorporate Socrates' character and are often included here as well.
