The legend of Atlantis -- you've heard about it, read about it, seen it in videos, shows, and movies. Now go straight to the source!Atlantis was first introduced by the Greek philosopher Plato in two "dialogues" he wrote in the fourth century B.

C. His tale of a great empire that sank beneath the waves has generated countless books, dramatic adaptations, archeological expeditions, and more.

It has also sparked thousands of years of debate and speculation. Did Plato mean his tale as ancient history, or just as a parable to help illustrate his philosophy? Why did he break it off in the middle, never completing our sole primary account of this "lost" civilization? And why did Aristotle, Plato's student, once say of Atlantis, "He who invented it also destroyed it.

" In "The Atlantis Dialogue," you'll find everything Plato wrote about Atlantis, in the context he intended. Now you can read it and judge for yourself! ////////////////////////////////////////"The perfect reference for that lost civilization .

. .

Accurate, concise, and understandable. Anyone who is a fan or student of Atlantis should, no, must have this book in their library.

" -- Sharon D. Anderson, author, "Atlantis: The Final Days""An easy read .

. .

Provides a good starting point for anyone wanting to learn more about the Atlantis myth. " -- Judy Justice, Midwest Book Review, Mar.

2002 (Reviewer's Choice)////////////////////////////////////////SAMPLECRITIAS: Consider then, Socrates, if this narrative is suited to the purpose, or whether we should seek for some other instead. SOCRATES: And what other, Critias, can we find that will be better than this, which is natural and suitable to the festival of the goddess, and has the very great advantage of being a fact and not a fiction? How or where shall we find another if we abandon this? We cannot, and therefore you must tell the tale, and good luck to you; and I in return for my yesterday's discourse will now rest and be a listener.

CRITIAS: Let me begin by observing first of all, that nine thousand was the sum of years which had elapsed since the war which was said to have taken place between those who dwelt outside the pillars of Heracles and all who dwelt within them; this war I am going to describe. Of the combatants on the one side, the city of Athens was reported to have been the leader and to have fought out the war; the combatants on the other side were commanded by the kings of Atlantis, which, as I was saying, was an island greater in extent than Libya and Asia, and when afterwards sunk by an earthquake, became an impassable barrier of mud to voyagers sailing from hence to any part of the ocean.

The progress of the history will unfold the various nations of barbarians and families of Hellenes which then existed, as they successively appear on the scene; but I must describe first of all Athenians of that day, and their enemies who fought with them, and then the respective powers and governments of the two kingdoms. .
