If I wanted to have a good understanding of Plato is there a series of dialogues one should read that encapsulate his thought well enough without reading them all?
I'd like to get to the neoplatonists and I was curious if some dialogues were skippable.

Hold on you seed snaring faggots. I'm pissed to me full caliber at the gingering of your alabaster. Every time some newfriend young scribe comes onto /lit/-PsuedoIntelligence, merrily requesting the literature he needs to gain a greater understanding of the metaphysical realm, he is BOMBARDED by horuslubbing faggots who tell him "HURR DURR START WITH LE GREEKS"
>start with the greeks
>the greeks
What THE FUCK gives the greeks more precident than the great Sinuhe? Than the iron-hearted Rammesses, by the beloved Ahmose nor the majestic writings of Thoth myself?
>muh plaituh
>muh arestootle
>muh diohjenees
Listen maggots, the TRUE "patrician" order of reading goes: Start with the Egyptians, Initialise the Indians, Commence with the Chinese, Go with the Greeks, Romp with the Romans and so forth. The Greeks are amongst the last carriers of the genes of Atlantis, and thus are a piss poor way to start the enlightenment of your mortal souls.
>HURR DURR le Sumerians! le Gnomemen! le Neanderthals
Such is the coping warcry of the Greek sympathieser. To notice him is to recognise the thick stentch, see the greasy, matted hair, and the souless black eyes that have only ever read half of Plato.
Ignore the Θώθ at your own peril.
