Title: CritiasCritias Author: Plato Narrator: Graham Dunlop Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 16, 2025 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: Plato’s Critias is the foundational source of one of the most enduring mysteries in human history: the lost civilization of Atlantis. In this unfinished dialogue, Plato unveils a majestic tale passed down through Solon from ancient Egyptian priests—of a powerful empire beyond the Pillars of Heracles, rich in technology, beauty, and ambition. But this is no mere fantasy. Critias blends myth, philosophy, and political allegory to offer a cautionary vision: the rise and fall of a mighty civilization undone by its hubris. Through detailed descriptions of Atlantis’s geography, military power, and social organization, Plato reveals not only a mythic past but a philosophical warning to the future. Why did Atlantis fall? What makes a society just or unjust? What happens when divine order is abandoned for mortal pride? Though the dialogue ends abruptly, its impact has echoed through millennia—fueling imaginations, explorations, and philosophical debates ever since. This audiobook delivers Critias in its full glory: a glimpse into Plato’s unfinished vision of a civilization that may have once been—or was meant to be a mirror of our own.
