About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Critias, by Plato. Translated by Benjamin Jowett. Read by Kevin Johnson. This is an incomplete dialogue from the late period of Plato's life. Plato most likely created it after Republic and it contains the famous story of Atlantis, that Plato tells with such skill that many have believed the story to be true. Critias, a friend of Socrates, and uncle of Plato was infamous as one of the bloody thirty tyrants. (Summary by Kevin Johnson)
