Publisher Description
The Critias is a fragment which breaks off in the middle of a sentence. It was designed to be the second part of a trilogy, which, like the other great Platonic trilogy of the Sophist, Statesman, Philosopher, was never completed. The passing remark in the Timaeus that Athens was left alone in the struggle, in which she conquered and became the liberator of Greece, is also an allusion to the later history.

An Engaging Read Into The Lost
There is an irony to this book that with the lost city of Atlantis, so too is its tale left in complete, both the glory, and the story is vanished from the understanding of our modern age, consumed with greed, and envy.
