Professor dr. Maria Luiza Oancea (University of Bucharest) presented the myth of the golden age or Cronos' myth, according to Plato, first in Statesman, then in Laws, the last Platonic dialogue.

The commented works do not follow any chronological order, but are full of valuable spatio-temporal landmarks, especially since many of the works mentioned by Photius are not extant.
