Atlantis... the key of Hellenic (greek) Mythology!

Posted by krinaki on Sunday, December 30, 04:10 PM

3000 books have been written about Atlantis! Some poeple say it is a myth, others it was real. I believe (and... I know for sure..) that Atlantis was not a myth. It realy existed. And i agree with those who say that it's place was in the Atlantic ocean. What is your opinion? Do you believe that Atlantis is real or a myth?
P.S: Read the dialogues of Plato " Timeo" and " Kritia" . All the information you need about Atlantis is in there....

Some people believe that Santorini is the site where Atlantis once stood.

Yes and some poeple believe also that the ancient greek town in the lake trihonida was atlantis too. But there are proofs that Atlantis was in the Atlantic ocean. That is why this ocean is called with this name.

I’ve heard many things about Atlantis which includes the entomology of its name but I’ve never heard about the Atlantic supposedly being named for it. The Atlantic Ocean was named in part for the Greek god Atlas in homage to its vast size and the amount of miles it covers. The story goes that Atlas’s father Poseidon bestowed Atlantis on him as a gift and made him King due to him being the oldest of his children. The ocean surrounding was then called the Atlantic to honor him.

Atlantis some believe was not specific to the Greeks islands in fact my favorite and version and one I might assume to be true is the one of the Bimini Road. It brings forth some interesting facts and evidence that Atlantis could have existed in that area.
