		Timaeus was bitterly attacked by other historians, especially by Polybius, and indeed his unfairness towards his predecessors, which gained him the nickname of Epitimaeus (fault-finder), laid him open to retaliation.
		The most serious charge against Timaeus is that he wilfully distorted the truth, when influenced by personal considerations: thus, he was less than fair to Dionysius and Agathocles, while loud in praise of his favourite Timoleon.
		Cicero, who was a diligent reader of Timaeus, expresses a far more favourable opinion, specially commending his copiousness of matter and variety of expression.

	Timaeus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Polybius was a practical soldier and statesman, Timaeus a bookworm without military experience or personal knowledge of the places he described.
		His attitude towards the myths, which he claims to, have preserved in their simple form (hence probably his nickname, Old Ragwoman, or "collector of old wives' tales", an allusion to his fondness for trivial details), is preferable to the rationalistic interpretation under which it had become the fashion to disguise them.
		Timaeus also devoted much attention to chronology, and introduced the system of reckoning by Olympiads.

		Of all the writings of Plato the Timaeus is the most obscure and repulsive to the modern reader, and has nevertheless had the greatest influence over the ancient and mediaeval world.
		There is a similar uncertainty about the Timaeus; in the first part he scales the heights of transcendentalism, in the latter part he treats in a bald and superficial manner of the functions and diseases of the human frame.
		The descriptive portion of the Timaeus retains traces of the first Greek prose composition; for the great master of language was speaking on a theme with which he was imperfectly acquainted, and had no words in which to express his meaning.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.06.21
		With a remarkable regularity, this bastard reasoning has been assimilated either to a legitimate and legitimating discourse concerning "space" or "place," or to the rhetoric of a certain Platonic modesty that requires the differentiation of a rigorous deductive presentation of the truth from a certain speculative, mythological, or oneiric transgression of "legitimate" discourse.
		Timaeus begins with the fundamental metaphysical distinction between the sensible and the intelligible (27d-28a).
		The khora, as the necessary condition of the metaphysical distinction, shows, however, that metaphysics is not foundational but necessarily points to a prior "ground." This "ground" is not the solid ground and foundation after which metaphysics seeks but rather the unstable, ambiguous, abyssal "ground" of a thinking that passes beyond metaphysics.

	HYLE 4-2 (1998): A Potential Infinity of Triangle Types: On the Chemistry of Plato's Timaeus
		The 'discrimination' shown by molecules in modern chemistry is certainly analogous to the 'discrimination' shown by the perfect solids and their constituent triangles in the Timaeus.
		This similarity has led at least one author to claim that the chemistry of Plato's Timaeus is indeed the first molecular theory in the history of chemistry,[1] and I would be hard pressed to disagree that, at least, Plato's theory is a great speculative advancement in the history of chemistry.
		From Plato's statement it follows that we cannot have a type of fire whose properties are determined by the fact that its faces have an area of, say, 2 square centimeters.

		In having Timaeus portray the forms as "models" "to" which the demiurge "looks" in fashioning the world, Plato in the Timaeus appears to resume the language and imagery that he earlier challenged in the Parmenides.
		I suggest instead that the Timaeus is written to speak to two audiences at once.
		On the one hand, as part of the moral-political project that Socrates proposes and Critias, Timaeus, and Hermocrates accept in the opening exchanges of the dialogue, it is addressed to a thoughtful but not Academic readership; its language is keyed to this audience.

		The Timaeus is doubtless one of the most difficult of Plato's dialogues for modern student to unravel, in part because of the vital role played by mathematics in Timaeus' narrative.
		Kalkavage has produced an inexpensive translation of the TIMAEUS that is ideal for undergraduate use, yet has something to teach students of Plato at every level of accomplishment.
