Timaeus is one of Plato's dialogues, mostly in the form of a long monologue given by the title character Timaeus of Locri, written c. 360 BC. The work puts forward speculation on the nature of the physical world and human beings and is followed by the dialogue Critias.
Participants in the dialogue include Socrates, Timaeus, Hermocrates, and Critias. Some scholars believe that it is not the Critias of the Thirty Tyrants who is appearing in this dialogue, but his grandfather, who is also named Critias. It has been suggested that Timaeus influenced a book about Pythagoras, written by Philolaus.

Amazon seems to have linked together all the comments on the Timaeus (no matter the translator). It is very possible that you are reading this under a different translation, not the Jowett translation as the commenter suggests. In any case, I recommend the Donald Zeyl translation. It DOES have Stephanus numbering -- very appropriate for class discussions and scholarly work. In my opinion, it is the best English translation available -- and I've spent years working through the text in Greek. Another translation that is nice to have around for alternative readings of key passages (all translation involves interpretation) is Peter Kalkavage's.Product details

Timaeus Annotated edition by Plato Benjamin Jowett Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Great book, I enjoy it big time😃
Awesome dialogue, arguably the best translation. Would recommend!
GOOD
Wonderful dialogue, two of my favorites- leading into the Apology, Euthyphro & Meno. Definitely key to read before the Apology in order to fully understand. Delivered straight to my iphone, Mac & ipad.
Very interesting, but definitely should be read in conjunction with a commentary.
The edition contains just the text of the dialogue no notes, no commentary, no introduction.
Even at 99 cents, it seems overpriced.
This book is for a philosophy course. It should be read and re read! Book came in excellent condition and a readable font.
