Timaeus by Plato (Πλάτων) (c. 428 BCE - c. 347 BCE)
LibriVox
"Our intention is, that Timaeus, who is the most of an astronomer amongst us, and has made the nature of the universe his special study, should speak first, beginning with the generation of the world and going down to the creation of man..."'Timaeus' is usually regarded as one of Plato's later dialogues, and provides an account of the creation of the universe, with physical, metaphysical and ethical dimensions, which had great influence over philosophers for centuries following. It attributes the order and beauty of the universe to a benevolent demiurge - a 'craftsman' or god - fashioning the physical world after the pattern of an ideal, eternal one.

Critias, a friend of Socrates, and uncle of Plato was infamous as one of the bloody thirty tyrants. (Summary by Kevin Johnson)

Platón
John Zerzan
Arístocles de Atenas, apodado Platón (?????? = «el de anchas espaldas»), nace, probablemente, el año 428-427 a.n.e. en Atenas, o quizás en Aegina. Pertenecía a una familia noble. Su padre, Aristón, se proclamaba descendiente del rey Codro, el último rey de Atenas. Su madre Períctiona, descendía de la familia de Solón, el antiguo legislador griego. Era además hermana de Cármides y prima de Critias, dos de los treinta tiranos que protagonizaron un golpe de estado oligárquico el año 404. Platón tuvo dos hermanos, Glaucón y Adimanto, y una hermana, Potone. A la muerte de Aristón, Períctina se casó con su tío Pirilampo, amigo y partidario prominente de Pericles, con quien tuvo otro hijo, Antifón.
