ΤΙΜΑΙΟΣ
Plato, Timaeus, Page 21d: What Solon heard, and from whom
Critias finishes the old man's wish, that no poet would then have been more famous. Amynander asks what the story was, and is told it concerns the greatest deed of this city, which time and destruction have blotted out. He asks to hear it from the beginning, with its sources.
