A name given to alleged descendants or survivors of the lost continent of Atlantis.
From 'Atlantis' + '-id' (suffix meaning 'member of a group'), based on the mythical continent described by Plato.
The Atlantid myth grew from Plato's thought experiment—he wrote a story as a philosophical exercise, and for 2,400 years people searched for a real place, showing how powerful fiction can become 'truth.'
