Τίμαιος, Τόμος Α
by Plato
Translated by Paulos Gratsiatos
"Τίμαιος, Τόμος Α" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written around 360 BC. Through the voice of Timaeus, the work explores the nature and origin of the physical universe and humanity itself. A divine craftsman—the demiurge—brings order from chaos, modeling the cosmos after eternal forms. The dialogue examines why the universe exists as a single, living, intelligent whole, and what causes both its beauty and its imperfections. This cosmic account follows Socrates' description of an ideal state and precedes the story of Atlantis.
