'''Atlantis''' (in [[Ancient Greek|Greek]], Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος}, "island of  [[Atlas (mythology)|Atlas]]") is the name of a legendary island first mentioned in [[Plato]]'s dialogues ''[[Timaeus (dialogue)|Timaeus]]'' and ''[[Critias (dialogue)|Critias]]''.[http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/atlantis.html Atlantis: the Myth by Alan G.

Hefner]

In Plato's account, Atlantis, lying "beyond the [[Pillars of Hercules]]", was a [[naval power]] that conquered many parts of [[Western Europe]] and [[Africa]] 9,000 years before the time of [[Solon]], or approximately 9500 BC. After a failed attempt to invade [[Athens]], Atlantis sank into the ocean "in a single day and night of misfortune".

In Plato's account, Atlantis, lying "beyond the [[Pillars of Hercules]]", was a [[naval power]] that conquered many parts of [[Western Europe]] and [[Africa]] 9,000 years before the time of [[Solon]], or approximately 9500 BC. After a failed attempt to invade [[Athens]], Atlantis sank into the ocean "in a single day and night of misfortune".

The ''Timaeus'' begins with an introduction, followed by an account of the creations and structure of the universe and ancient civilizations. In the introduction, Socrates muses about the perfect society, described in Plato's ''[[Republic (Plato)|Republic]]'', and wonders if he and his guests might recollect a story which exemplifies such a society.  Critias mentions an allegedly historical tale that would make the perfect example, and follows by describing Atlantis as is recorded in the ''Critias''. In his account, ancient Athens seems to represent the "perfect society" and Atlantis its opponent, representing the very antithesis of the "perfect" traits described in the ''Republic''.  Critias claims that his accounts of ancient Athens and Atlantis stem from a visit to [[Ancient Egypt|Egypt]] by the Athenian lawgiver [[Solon]] in the 6th century BC. In Egypt, Solon met a priest of [[Sais, Egypt|Sais]], who translated the history of ancient Athens and Atlantis, recorded on papyri in Egyptian hieroglyphs, into [[Greek language|Greek]]. According to [[Plutarch]], Solon met with "Psenophis of Heliopolis, and Sonchis the Saite, the most learned of all the priests" (Life of Solon). Because of the 500+ year distance between Plutarch and the alleged event, and that this information is not provided by Plato in Timaeus and Critias, this identification is questionable.

According to Critias, the [[Ancient Greece|Hellenic]] gods of old divided the land so that each god might own a lot; [[Poseidon]] was appropriately, and to his liking, bequeathed the island of Atlantis. The island was larger than Ancient Libya and Asia Minor combined,[http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9010107/Atlantis Atlantis] but it afterwards was sunk by an [[earthquake]] and became an impassable mud shoal, inhibiting travel to any part of the ocean. The Egyptians described Atlantis as an island comprising mostly mountains in the northern portions and along the shore, and encompassing a great plain of an oblong shape in the south "extending in one direction three thousand ''[[Stadia (length)|stadia]]'' [about 555 &nbsp;km; 345&nbsp;mi], but across the center inland it was two thousand stadia [about 370&nbsp;km; 230&nbsp;mi]."

The 4th century AD historian [[Ammianus Marcellinus]], relying on a lost work by Timagenes, a historian writing in the 1st century BC, writes that the [[Druids]] of [[Gaul]] said that part of the inhabitants of Gaul had migrated there from distant islands. Some have understood Ammianus's testimony as a claim that at the time of Atlantis's actual sinking into the sea, its inhabitants fled to western Europe; but Ammianus in fact says that “the Drasidae (Druids) recall that a part of the population is indigenous but others also migrated in from islands and lands beyond the [[Rhine]]" (''Res Gestae'' 15.9), an indication that the immigrants came to Gaul from the north (Britain, the Netherlands or Germany), not from a theorized location in the Atlantic Ocean to the south-west.<ref>Fitzpatrick-Matthews, Keith.

===In the Atlantic Ocean===

The location of [[Atlantic|Atlantis]] in the [[Atlantic Ocean]] has certain appeal given the closely related names. Popular culture increasingly places Atlantis there which perpetuates the original Platonic ideal. Several hypotheses place the sunken island in Northern [[Europe]], including [[Sweden]] (by [[Olof Rudbeck]] in ''[[Atland]]'', 1672&ndash;1702), or in the [[North Sea]]. Some have proposed the [[Celtic Shelf]] and [[Andalusia]] as possible locations, and that there is a link to [[Ireland]].[Atlantis "Evidence" Found in Spain and Ireland [http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/08/0819_040819_atlantis.html]The [[Canary Islands]] have also been identified as a possible location, west of the Straits of Gibraltar but in close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. Various islands or island groups in the Atlantic were also identified as possible locations, notably the [[Azores]]. The submerged island of [[Spartel]] near the Strait of Gibraltar has also been suggested.[http://antiquity.ac.uk/ProjGall/kuhne/]
