What is Truth?

There seems to be some conflicting views here about Truth.

"What is true, Phaedrus, and what is not true? Need we ask anyone tell us 
these things?" 

Apparently yes.

My question is: is truth the greatest good, or is good the greatest truth? 
Can that question even be answered? And can the answer to that question be 
proven true? Or for that matter, can the answer to that question be proven 
good?

Can something be good if it isn't true? Certainly something can be true if it 
isn't good. Truth is supposed to be truth, no matter if you like it or not. 
It just *is*. But good depends *solely* on whether you like it or not. Right? 

Truth is oblivious to opinions; you can't make it go away because you don't 
like it.

Good, on the other hand, depends on opinions in order to exist. "Man is the 
measure of all things." Am I way off track here? If so, explain.
