Symmetry and asymmetry in the construction of 'elements' in the Timaeus
Classical Quarterly 56 (2):459-474 (2006)
Abstract
In this paper I contend that the 'superfluity' of triangles is only apparent; all those specified are indeed required for the smallest sub-units, so long as the symmetry of the final body to be constructed is taken into account at earlier stages.My notes
