ATLANTISThis web page is about Heroic Fiction set in Atlantis, Lyonesse, and the like. It will be expanded as the fancy strikes me. It also includes other 'lost civilization' subjects. |
Vanished IslandsThere is something appealing about the idea of the great island civilization sinking without trace beneath the sea. It is often due to their hubris and pride, having angered the gods or meddled in arcane science or magic, that they deserve this, but in retrospect they are regarded as 'golden age' people with great wisdom. The original Atlantis, which is mentioned by Plato, might have been the island Santorini in the Mediterranean, which blew up 'real good' in a massive volcanic explosion a few thousand years ago -- there could have been a Cretan presence there, perhaps an academy of soothsayers and philosophers, hence the legends. |
