Plato 428? BCE-348? BCE creator Jowett, Benjamin 1817-1893 text utu 1998 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Critias" by Plato is a dialogue written in ancient Greece that recounts the legendary story of Atlantis, a mighty island kingdom that attempted to conquer Athens. Through the character Critias, Plato describes how the gods divided the ancient Earth and how early Athens embodied an ideal civilization of virtue and moderation. The dialogue contrasts a good city with one corrupted by ambition, exploring themes of divine justice and societal decline. Part of an unfinished trilogy, the work ends abruptly, leaving Atlantis's fate tantalizingly incomplete. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
