Timaeus DDH ()


Timaeus

  • Cosmos as a living being — created by a divine craftsman (*Demiurge*).
  • Blending of ΜΥΘΟΣ and ΛΟΓΟΣ: a “likely story” (*eikôs muthos*) explaining the universe.
  • Mathematical harmony as the structure of reality — geometry as sacred order.
  • Creation of the human soul from cosmic ingredients — microcosm mirrors macrocosm.
  • Introduction of Atlantis — mythic civilization of technological ὝΒΡΙΣ (hybris).
