	Critias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Critias (460-403 BC), son of Callaeschrus, was the uncle of Plato, leading member of the Thirty Tyrants, and one of the most violent.
		Critias appears as a character in Plato's dialogues Charmides and Protagoras.
		The Critias character in Plato's dialogues Timaeus and Critias is often identified as the son of Callaeschrus - but not by Plato; and given the old age of the Critias in these two dialogues, he must be the grandfather of the son of Callaeschrus.

	Critias [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Critias' first certain appearance in the historical record is as an alleged participant in the mutilation of the herms in 415 BC.
		Critias was released on the testimony of Andocides (On the Mysteries 47) in the course of the investigation of the crime, and nothing further is known of his involvement in the matter.
		Whatever plans that Critias and the Thirty had for the establishment of a new oligarchic regime in Athens were abruptly halted by the military successes of a group of pro-democratic exiles led by Thrasybulus at the Athenian border post at Phyle and in the port town of Piraeus.

	From the Online Dialogues of Plato, Critias, Illustrated
		CRITIAS: The breadth of the largest ring of water, that to which the canal from the sea had been made, was 3 stadia and 1/2, (2100 feet) and that of the contiguous ring of land the same.
		CRITIAS: They were used for the floating of timber down to the town from the mountains and the conveyance by boat of natural produce generally, oblique channels of cross communication being cut from these canals to one another and the city.
		CRITIAS: The number of units supplied by the mountains and the territory at large was said to be enormous, and all were regularly assigned to the different allotments and leaders according to their districts or villages.

		It is followed by three appendices: that on the structure of the dialogue (A), a brief account of the relation between "The Charmides and the Republic" (B), and a not very useful table dividing every action and speech of the dialogue into exercises of moderation or its opposite (C).
		Critias, according to S., has the erroneous, sophistic view that living life rationally means possessing and using a techne or science of how to get ahead.
		S. says that Critias' speech "occurs more or less in the middle of the dialogue" (37); on three other occasions he puts 167a1-7 at the center of the dialogue: vii (the first page of the preface), 14, 40.

		Critias objects to this last formulation, withdrawing whatever concessions he has made that would now require him to say that one can be temperate without knowing oneself.
		Critias cites the Delphic oracle's commandment, "Know Thyself," as evidence here, arguing that the statement is nothing less than the gods' greeting to humans and not a simple piece of advice.
		Critias, as Socrates notes, is significantly more educated than Charmides, and he appears to have devoted much more time to thinking about these philosophical issues than Charmides.

		The Timaeus dialogue is an introduction, followed by a concise history of the universe and ancient civilizations, according to Plato´s particular philosophy.

		According to Critias, the Hellenic gods of old divided the land so that each god might own a lot; Poseidon was appropriately, and to his liking, bequeathed the island of Atlantis.

		To determine why Socrates was condemned to death, she studies the voting patterns of the Athenian jurors and argues that Socrates was condemned neither by the jurors susceptible to the stings of shame-those whose understanding is represented by the "old accusations"-nor by those whose shame turns to hatred when Socrates challenges it.
		The significance of Socrates' first word, kateben, "I went down," is discussed, and the psychagogic implications of the shamanistic imagery of the Myth of Er are explained, in striking detail, to illustrate Plato's understanding of the complexity of the relationship between virtue and the course of a life.
		In this dialogue, I attempt to demonstrate, there is no conflict between poetry and philosophy: the Music mania that produced its literary form is in perfect harmony with the erotic mania that Plato presents as the heart of Socrates' philosophy.

	SparkNotes: Charmides: Section 4 (165e–169c)
		Critias objects to Socrates's questioning the new definition of temperance as the "science of a man's self." None of the sciences, Critias argues, is like the others, and this includes wisdom; the products of geometry, for example, are nothing like the products of medicine or architecture.
		This section sees the dialogue taking a form that depends neither on a kind of trickery or flirtation (as in the first section) nor on petty academic distinctions (as in much of the second).
		Critias has some profound ideas, and he is not shy in actively arguing with Socrates for them.

		Critias, glancing at the door, invited my attention to some youths who were coming in, and talking noisily to one another, followed by a crowd.
		Critias had long been showing uneasiness, for he felt that he had a reputation to maintain with Charmides and the rest of the company.
		Critias heard me say this, and saw that I was in a difficulty; and as one person when another yawns in his presence catches the infection of yawning from him, so did he seem to be driven into a difficulty by my difficulty.

		Critias is then more vulnerable to criticism than his predecessor, since listeners tends to be less willing to suspend disbelief when a speaker is dealing with familiar subjects.
		Critias couldn't put up with this but seemed to me to be angry with Charmides just the way a poet is when his verse is mangled by the actors.
		While Critias himself, to whom the metaphor was formally addressed, picks it up and manipulates it for his own benefit: in a bold reversal of the situation, as it has been described by Socrates, he attempts to ground his self-confidence in a personal bond with this particular audience, pointing implicitly to a kindred mentality.

	Original Atlantean Story Overview V1
		A section of the TIMAEUS Dialogue also introduces the whereabouts of the lost capital seaport of Atlantis within the western ocean realm near the center of a great continental island and reveals the scale of the Atlantean Maritime Kingdom as once having governmental control over the eastern Mediterranean realm.
		This dialogue section further describes the global layout of what is now the Atlantic Ocean and compares the Mediterranean Sea area as a harbor with a narrow entrance that is opposite of the Atlantean continent of what is now the collective American continents.
		The last section in the TIMAEUS Dialogue that refers to the location of the lost Atlantean capital seaport states the view in which “a shoal of mud” blocks access to the area and “was caused by subsidence of the island”.

		It was he who related the story of Atlantis to the Critias of the dialogues.
		Certainly, Critias, we will grant your request, and we will grant the same by anticipation to Hermocrates, as well as to you and Timaeus; for I have no doubt that when his turn comes a little while hence, he will make the same request which you have made.
		But remember, Critias, that faint heart never yet raised a trophy; and therefore you must go and attack the argument like a man. First invoke Apollo and the Muses, and then let us hear you sound the praises and show forth the virtues of your ancient citizens.

		But before Critias can expand on it, Socrates sets Timaeus a task - a full scientific explanation of the origin and evolution of the universe and man. Not surprisingly, this takes a while, and so the book in which we first encounter Atlantis is called _Timaeus_.
		Critias describes the military structure, politics and legal authority of Atlantis.
		As Critias recounts, "the divine element in them became weakened by frequent admixture with mortal stock, and their human traits became predominant." The Atlanteans became human, and humans are fallible.

		I’ll tell you: until the point in time when the “Timaeus-Critias Dialogue“ took place, Atlantis was in no way connected to the myths and beliefs of the people in the Mediterranean area.
		Accordingly, Critias, the old man, must have been mentally fit and Critias, the young boy, must have been a child prodigy to be able to remember all these things in every little detail.

		The Critias Dialogue The next day Socrates encourages Critias to tell his story in greater detail because, he says, details are required if the story is to seem believable.
		Critias explains that although the story is from Egypt, the names in it are Greek because Solon carefully translated them.
