Question from an ignoramus (me): What were the sources/manuscripts from which we know of Socrates/Plato/Aristotle? Were they ever lost and 'rediscovered'? Were their commentaries on them throughout the ages continually?

Aristotle's manuscripts, as the story goes were literally lost in some guys basement for like a few hundred years, (just thought i'd add), we tend to fuck up the important things as humans, I think Cicero relied on primary sources from Aristotle and the Periapatics(Lyceum school)

Thanks! so they were lost almost immediately but then preserved later on.
