Κριτίας, Ίππαρχος, Αντερασταί Critias, Hipparchus, The Rival Lovers Produced by Sophia Canoni. Book provided by Iason Konstantinides "Κριτίας, Ίππαρχος, Αντερασταί" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue believed to have been written in the 4th century BC. This work likely serves as a sequel to Plato's earlier dialogue "Timaeus," and it focuses on the exploration of the ancient Athenian political structure and its contrasts with the fabled civilization of Atlantis. Through the characters of Timaeus, Critias, and Socrates, the dialogue unveils themes of governance, morality, and the lost wisdom of the ancient world. The opening of "Κριτίας" sets the stage for a discussion between the characters, primarily initiated by Timaeus and continued by Critias. Critias is preparing to recount the tale of a great war that once occurred between the Athenians and the inhabitants of the mythical island of Atlantis, delving into the nature of both societies. He emphasizes the importance of understanding their historical context and accomplishments, as he intends to illustrate the virtues of the Athenian state in contrast to that of Atlantis, which ultimately fell from grace due to hubris and moral decay. Critias's narrative begins with efforts to provide a detailed background on the political setup, geography, and contributions of ancient Athens before introducing the legendary Atlantis.
