Overview

The story of Atlantis, the so-called lost continent, has intrigued people of all walks of life ever since the Greek philosopher Plato wrote about in the fourth century B.C. This volume begins with Plato's original telling of the legend, then explains how early modern scholars rediscovered it and considers the many places around the world that have been proposed as the site of Atlantis. Finally, the book presents a detailed examination of the most widely accepted theory -- that the legend was based on the destruction of the Greek island of Thera by the largest natural catastrophe in recorded history.
