The Timaeus (Greek: Τίμαιος) is a late Platonic dialogue in which the eponymous narrator provides an extended account of the creation and structure of the universe. One of the few dialogues known to the Medieval European West before the Renaissance, it had a major influence on the tradition of natural philosophy.
