Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

 

Christopher’s Athens (I just found this to be a fantastic site, all things considered –Mostly on Plato, of course)

 

Plato’s Dialogues by Bernard Suzanne (I haven’t read the entire site, but good general introduction and some useful and provocative ideas about the dialogues).

 

Non-contradiction.com. Just a fine all round resource for Aristotle.

 

I shall update this list in the near future, if you have any ideas, let me know.
