The Atlantis story remains one of the most haunting and enigmatic tales from antiquity, and one that still resonates very deeply with the modern imagination. But did Plato mean his tale as history, or just as a parable to help illustrate his philosophy? This book is broken down into two main sections plus a coda - firstly the translations/commentaries which will have the discussions of the specifics of the actual texts; secondly, a look at the reception of the myth from then to now; then, thirdly, a brief round-off bringing it all together.
