Book provided by Iason Konstantinides. "Τίμαιος, Τόμος Α" by Plato is a philosophical treatise written in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. This work explores cosmology, the nature of the universe, and the role of the divine creator. It serves as a critical segment in Plato's philosophical dialogues, notably following his earlier work "Πολιτεία," and delves into deep metaphysical discussions about the creation and order of the cosmos. At the start of the text, the dialogue unfolds amidst the festivities of the Bendideia in Athens, where Socrates and several prominent figures gather to discuss political philosophy and the ideal state. The narrative rampantly intertwines a historical recount of Athens, referencing the legendary Atlantis, while simultaneously engaging in a grand exposition of the origin of the universe. The foundational themes are initiated through a conversation led by Critias, who attempts to substantiate Socrates' ideal state with a historical example, setting the stage for discussions on both the physical and metaphysical aspects of existence as contemplated by Plato.
