1 Of course this severs the dramatic date of the Tim. from that of the Rep. and makes nonsense of the χθές at the onset of the Tim. if that is taken literally. But one may without excessive imaginativeness guess that the ὑπόνοια in χθές is that Socrates is now making a different approach to politics, clearly including a less unfavourable attitude to Athens. Furthermore χθές taken literally raises awkward questions about relative dates of the festival of Bendis and the Apaturia.
