The Search for Atlantis: A History of Plato’s Ideal State by Steve P. Kershaw
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4.5MB
Overview: A vivid exploration of the legend of Atlantis and its enduring influence on Western culture—from its origins in antiquity to the modern era.
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 where did Atlantis come from, what was it like, and where did it go to?
Atlantis was first introduced by the Greek philosopher Plato in the fourth century BC. As he discusses about the origins of life, the universe and humanity, the great thinker puts forward a stunning description of Atlantis—an island paradise with an ideal society. But the Atlanteans soon degenerate and become imperialist aggressors: they choose to fight against antediluvian Athens, which heroically repels their mighty forces, before a cataclysmic natural disaster destroys the warring states.
