The Atlantis Story: A Short History of Plato's Myth
Pierre Vidal-Naquet
Presents the history of development through the ages of Plato's "Atlantis" story - the imperialist island state that disappeared in a cataclysm, leaving Athens to survive it. Instead of simply focusing on the various attempts to 'find' Atlantis, the author re-examines the very different uses made of the myth in different contexts and periods.
