Fragment tekstu o Sokratesie - prośba o pomoc w tłumaczeniu

Temat przeniesiony do archwium.
Witam.
Mam problem z jednym zdaniem, może ktoś byłby w stanie pomóc mi je przetłumaczyć.
"But much was written about Socrates by his contemporaries and members
of later generations. <<So controversial a figure was he that the early part of the
fourth century BC saw a vast literary genre of “Socratic” writings come into existence
after his death.>> These “Socratic writings,” as they were called, expounded allegedly
Socratic doctrines, depicted conversations in which a character named Socrates was
the principal speaker, attacked Socrates’ character in polemical “accusations,” or
defended him in various “apologies of Socrates,” which purported to be versions of
the defense speech Socrates gave at his trial."
Chodzi konkretnie o zdanie ujęte w <<>>, resztę wrzuciłam dla kontekstu.
Będę wdzięczna za pomoc.
Pozdrawiam
,ze na początku IV w p.n.e. pojawiło się wiele tekstow 'sokratejskich', ktore powstaly po jego smierci
