After a bit of searching I've compiled a list of links of those works listed
under [[Alcibiades#Primary sources]].  A couple I couldn't find at all, but
a good portion of them are listed below in case anyone wants to add some of
these sources to WS before [[Alcibiades]] becomes featured.

Also, I noticed that WS is relatively deficient in terms of classical
authors; we've got very few Greek or Roman works.  This might also be a good
time to increase what we have in this area.  It might take a little bit of
internet detective work to do, as Gutenberg isn't overflowing with classical
works, either.
