Description

Written at the end of Plato’s life, these two texts truly represent the culmination of Platonic thought. Cosmogony, that being the birth of the universe, the theory of the soul of the world, that of the elements, are also subjects examined by Socrates, Timaeus, Critias and Hermocrates, and define Platonic science. After the origins of the world, come those of man: so begins the famed myth of Atlantis, the rival city and antithesis of Athens. Incomplete, the text concludes with the decadence of the kings of Atlantis.
