god
the Demiurge
the maker-god
also: deus, Deus, god, God, the maker, the craftsman, the builder, artifex, fabricator, opifex, the parent of this whole
The divine craftsman of Plato's Timaeus, who fashions the ordered cosmos by looking to an eternal pattern; Cicero renders him simply as deus, the maker and builder of the world. He is the eternal god distinct from the generated gods (such as Jupiter) whom he begets.
Reading notes
- Timaeus (Latin translation) §6 the parent of this whole
Plato's demiurge, the divine craftsman who fashions the cosmos (Timaeus 28c: hard to find and, once found, impossible to declare to all). Cicero renders him simply as deus, the maker and builder of the world.
