Hardback. New. Presents the history of development through the ages of Plato's Atlantis story - the imperialist island state that disappeared in a cataclysm, leaving Athens to survive it. Instead of simply focusing on the various attempts to 'find' Atlantis, the author re-examines the very different uses made of the myth in different contexts and periods.
