Knowing the source of the world is not a preoccupation of present-day societies. In fact, the ancient Greeks were already trying to explain how the universe could have come into being. For that, they often had recourse to mythology. For example, the poet Hesiod described the origin of the gods in the Theogony. The two dialogues of the Greek philosopher Plato, the Timaeus and the Critias, written probably between 358 and 356 BC, are part of this tradition. It is an astonishing story mixing myth with an innovative and rigorous explanation using mathematics and physics. This cosmology, that is to say a doctrine aiming at formulating a coherent representation of the universe, wants to show how it is possible to know the sensible, tangible world. Are you ready to dive into the origins of the world?
