Not few are the passages in which Nietzsche maintains the thesis that Platonic thought acted as a disseminating agent of decadence in the process of forming Western civilization. In fact, the philosopher understands that there would be a kind of "kinship" between Platonism and Christianity. However, where would this "parental" affinity between the two traditions be located? And in what way, precisely, would this line of continuity be characterized? This article aims to answer these questions through a genealogical examination of the Timaeus, a dialogue in which Plato presents a cosmogonic myth that would deeply mark Western worldview.
