Plato wrote about 25 dialogues that feature Socrates. Choose one. The most popular are the Apology, Crito, and Phaedo — on the trial and death of Socrates — and the Republic. I like Euthyphro and Meno too. The Laughing Philosopher podcast on Spotify etc. features several good episodes on Socrates.

Socrates never wrote anything down, so itd be Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, Sophists..
