This was an intriguing account of, well, EVERYTHING. Plato is certainly a genius in uniting diverse aspects of reality together, yet although it's a dialogue, except for the very beginning, it's pretty much just a monologue from Timaeus recounting to his friends (Socrates and co.) about what a man had told him when he was a boy. The start of Timaeus's account was the highlight for me, because at about the point where the triangles that underlie all existence are introduced (which I tried to draw but just couldn't fit them together properly), as well as the explanation about human physiology (which seemed so far fetched and was very long), it got to be pretty tedious. But still, The Timaeus forms much of the basis of Plotinus's works, and apart from the triangles, isn't that hard to understand.
