Yes it’s pretty foundational for western thought, although quite boring at times

Just read whatever appeals to you, nietzsche is also a pleasant read imo

You will also most likely find it somewhat dense and hard to comprehend if you’re new to philosophy. The last days of Socrates would be a gentler introduction to Plato.
