Definition
A legendary sunken city or island that supposedly sank into the ocean, described in ancient texts but never proven to exist.
Etymology
From Plato's dialogues in ancient Greece, where he described an advanced civilization that disappeared beneath the sea. The name comes from 'Atlas,' the Titan who held up the sky in Greek mythology.
Kelly Says
Plato probably invented Atlantis as a philosophical thought experiment to discuss the dangers of hubris and overconfidence—but for 2,400 years, people have been obsessed with finding it, showing how powerfully fictional stories can capture human imagination.
