The Connection between Atlantis And Ancient Greece Revealed
When it comes to exploring the topic 'Atlantis,' there is always something challenging to answer or locate. We're back today with another episode to seek explanations for the laborious findings. What connections did Ancient Greece have with the lost city of Atlantis. Let’s find out.
The most perplexing question that all scientists have is the location of Atlantis. According to the narrations, the city is thought to have sunk into the sea following an earthquake or tsunami.Atlantis is a fabled island adapted in Plato's books Timaeus and Critias as the adversary naval power that besieges "Ancient Athens," the pseudo-historic incarnation of Plato's ideal society in the Republic. In the legend, Athens repels the Atlantean onslaught unlike any other nation in the known world, presumably demonstrating the supremacy of Plato's vision of a state. The first ruler of Atlantis, according to Plato, was also named Atlas, but he was the son of Poseidon and the mortal woman Cleito. The story closes with Atlantis falling out of favour with the gods and sinking into the Atlantic Ocean.
