Would you have any good summary or review articles on the debate to recommend?
It certainly feels like there'd be plenty of other data to help judge the question besides just Plato's and Aristotle's writings - e.g. other writings from the era or anthropological data from non-Western cultures (e.g. it was already mentioned that "distinguishing right and wrong" has been documented as a human universal by one anthropologist).
Regarding the question of what ancient Greeks meant by "the good," I'd start with the SEP.
I have no idea about anthropological data from non-Western cultures.
