There is a wealth of philosophy-related websites, some good, some awful.  Keeping track of them is difficult.  If links are broken, you might use Google to find the site.

To explore philosophy in general you could start with any of these:

EpistemeLinks.com.  If you go to individual philosophers, there are then links to lists of encyclopedia articles, on-line texts, courses, etc.

Bruce Janz' annotated collection of Useful Philosophy Links

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP) is purely on-line; it is fairly advanced but usually extremely good. As with much else on the Web, it is very much under construction and so many intended articles are not yet available.

For this course in particular, you might explore the following.

Other course notes

• An Internet-supported course by S. Marc Cohen.  It has course notes and links to lots of other materials and some of his papers. He also has a course on Aristotle with some useful links. These are fairly advanced materials.

• MIT includes fairly detailed lecture notes for its Ancient Philosophy course; much of the material is due to Alan Code.

• James Warren (Cambridge) has hand-outs from a lecture series on the Pre-Socratics.

• There are some introductory lectures on Plato by Hauptli, links near the bottom of this page.

Other kinds of material

SEP on Plato by Richard Kraut.  The SEP has several articles on aspects of Aristotle's philosophy.

The International Plato Society has an online journal. A list of all articles can be found here.

Volume 4 (1999) of Animus was devoted to Platonism.

Fred Wilson has a two-part introduction to Aristotle, focussing on his organismic science.  Part 2 is here.

Some extracts from Antony Gottlieb's book Socrates: Philosophy's Martyr.

A long paper by Edward Little, The Structure of Plato's Parmenides.

An older lecture, Socrates, Plato, and the Roman Stoics, by Charles Pomeroy Parker. 

Michael Pakaluk runs an ancient philosophy blog: dissoi blogoi.

There is another ancient philosophy blog: ton deuteron ploun.

On-line texts in translation

For on-line texts (in English and the original Greek) of particular works, there is the Perseus Project, but these are not ideal for printing. The best route to find particular texts is either Google or EpistemeLink's text pages. 

There are versions of Jowett's translations of Plato here. There is a nice website with versions of most of what is contained in LDS (it omits most of the Phaedo and is in Jowett's translation) here.
