Plato

Critias Plato

Plato's Critias is a fragment of another late period dialogue written in a similar tone to the Platonic dialogue Timaeus, to the point where scholars regard the two as synonymous. In this work, the topic discussed by Critias, Timeaus, Socrates and Hermocrates is one of intense interest even today: the lost city of Atlantis. After introducing the world's earliest creation by the Gods, we hear that the magnificent Atlantis was given to Poseidon; the God of the Sea.
