The legend of Atlantis -- you\'ve heard about it, read about it, watched it on large and small screens.
Of the combatants on the one side, the City of A. 2002 (Reviewer\'s Choice)////////////////////////////////////////SAMPLECRITIAS: Consider then, Socrates, if this narrative is suited to the purpose, or whether we should seek for some other instead.
SOCRATES: And what other, Critias, can we find that will be better than this, which is natural and suitable to the festival of the goddess, and has the very great advantage of being a fact and not a fiction? How or where shall we find another if we abandon this? We cannot, and therefore you must tell the tale, and good luck to you; and I in return for my yesterday\'s discourse will now rest and be a listener.
CRITIAS: Let me begin by observing first of all, that nine thousand was the sum of years which had elapsed since the war which was said to have taken place between those who dwelt outside the pillars of Heracles and all who dwelt within them; this war I am going to describe. -- Judy Justice, Midwest Book Review, Mar.
Provides a good starting point for anyone wanting to learn more about the Atlantis myth. . .
Anderson, author, Atlantis: The Final DaysAn easy read . -- Sharon D.
Anyone who is a fan or student of Atlantis or hiStory should, no, must have this book in their library.
It is accurate, concise, and understandable.
Plato is probably the only true source of Atlantean hiStory we have available today, and I highly recommend this text.
This book has been the basis of much of my writings on Atlantis. . .
Now you can read it and judge for yourself! ////////////////////////////////////////The perfect reference for that Lost Civilization .
Did Plato mean his tale as ancient history, or just as a parable to help illustrate his philosophy? Why did he break it off in the middle, never completing our sole primary account of this Lost civilization? And why did Aristotle, Plato\'s student, once say of Atlantis, He who invented it also destroyed it.? In The Atlantis Dialogue, you\'ll find everything Plato wrote about Atlantis, in the context he intended.
It has also sparked thousands of years of debate and speculation.
His tale of a great Empire that sank beneath the waves has generated countless books, dramatic adaptations, archeological expeditions, and more.
Now go straight to the source!Atlantis was first introduced by the Greek philosopher Plato in two dialogues he wrote in the fourth century B.
