	Timaeus (dialogue) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Timaeus is a theoretical treatise of Plato in the form of a Socratic dialogue, written circa 360 B.C. The work puts forward speculation on the nature of the physical world.
		Speakers of the dialogue are Socrates, Timaeus of Locri, Hermocrates, and Critias, grandfather of the Critias of the Thirty Tyrants.
		Plato's Timaeus posits the existence of a fifth element (corresponding to the fifth, remaining, Platonic solid) called quintessence, of which the cosmos itself is made.

		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.

		Plato's Cosmology: The Timaeus of Plato by Plato
		The Timaeus is a very difficult dialogue, and one that has traditionally been interpreted as offering a modification of certain aspects of Plato's "Theory of the Forms," through the introduction of a "demiurge" or divine artificer and the "chora" or prime matter for creation.
		The result is a new Timaeus, a Timaeus oozing with formerly unnoticed significance at every point, a Timaeus clearly pervaded with the problematics of the figure that is the central subject of Sallis's book: the chora, that "nurse" or "receptacle" of becoming that is introduced midway through Timaeus's account.

	Locri Epizephyrii's Historical Figures - Timaeus, Euthymus, Hagesidamus, Senocrito, Eunomus, Teano

	Hellenistic Astrology [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Plato, for instance, demonstrates an awareness of divination by the stars in the Timaeus dialogue, in which the protagonist criticizes divination by the stars without the means of astronomical calculation (logizethai) and a model (mimêmaton) of the heavens:
		The Hellenistic text attributed to Timaeus Locrus, On the Nature of the World and the Soul, purports to be the original upon which Plato drew for his dialogue of his name.
		Astrological fragments of a writer "Timaeus Praxidas" date to the same period (early to middle first century B.C.E.), but there is little textual evidence to indicate that these are one and the same writer.

		But Dionysius, when he was re-established and confirmed in his supremacy, married two wives together, one named Doris, of Locri, the other Aristomache, a native of Sicily, and daughter of Hipparinus, a man of the first quality in Syracuse, and colleague with Dionysius when he was first chosen general with unlimited powers for the war.
		It is said he married them both in one day, and no one ever knew which of the two he first made his wife; and ever after he divided his kindness equally between them, both accompanying him together at his table, and in his bed by turns.

		The Ancient Locri was the birthplace of many renowned and highly regarded people in the antiquity; we can cite as proof ZALEUKOS, the first western legislator, he provided that the laws should have been written to avoid the arbitraries decisions of the judges based upon oral laws.
		We can also cite the philosopher TIMAEUS or the poetess NOSSIS, "The Sappho's competitor", whose few epigrams, that reached our age, show us her undoubted greatness.
		But Locri was, also, the birthplace of skilful athletes, winners of the Olympic Games, such as EUTHYMUS and HAGESIDAMUS, and of many others historical figures.

	BMCR-L: BMCR 00.06.21, Sallis, Chorology: On Beginning in Plato's Timaeus
		The roots of this interpretation lie in Jacques Derrida's early essay, "Plato's Pharmacy." In the few pages devoted to the Timaeus, Derrida interpreted khora as a name of the spacing of originary inscription, which he elsewhere approached under the name, diffe/rance.
		[[2]] Although Sallis' interpretation of the Timaeus owes much to Derrida's work, his interests and concerns lead him to develop his reading of the chorology in striking and novel ways.
		As Timaeus says, only if khora is radically indeterminate and formless--only if it escapes the order of property and propriety--can khora receive the properties and formal determinations that first makes the kosmos possible.

		Possibly it was the Pythagorean regard for the dodecahedron that led Plato to look on this, the fifth and last, regular solid as a symbol of the universe.
		It is not known whether Timaeus of Locri really existed or whether Plato invented him as a character through whom to express the Pythagorean views that still were strong in what is now Southern Italy.
		Although this dialogue, probably written when Plato wia near seventy, provides the earliest definite evidence for the association of the four Elements with the regular solids, much of this fantasy may be due to the Pythagoreans.

		A main object of his theory was to guarantee personal continuity of the soul's life, the point in which most other systems of transmigration fail.

		The doctrine of transmigration is not found in the oldest of the sacred books of India, viz., the Rig-Veda; but in the later works it appears as an uncontested dogma, and as such it has been received by the two great religions of India.

	Pythagoras
		By the end of the first century BC, a large collection of books had been forged in the name of Pythagoras and other early Pythagoreans, which purported to be the orignal Pythagorean texts from which Plato and Aristotle derived their most important ideas.
		A treatise forged in the name of Timaeus of Locri was the supposed model for Plato's Timaeus, just as forged treatises assigned to Archtyas were the supposed model for Aristotle's Categories.
		What we can hope to obtain from the evidence presented by Aristotle, Aristoxenus, Dicaearchus, and Timaeus is thus not a picture of Pythagoras that is consistent in all respects but rather a picture that at least defines the main areas of his achievement.
