Atlantis - The Legend of a Lost City

Product Description

Floating on the emerald seas is a small rocky island belonging to the mighty sea-god Poseidon. Few visit its shores - until Poseidon marries a beautiful islander called Cleito and transforms the island into a rich and fertile place, with underground canals, a silver-pinnacled temple and a palace fit for a god. He names his perfect city Atlantis. But as the years pass, his descendants start to act less like gods and more like men... This retelling, based on Plato's Timaeus and Critias, with a note by Geoffrey Ashe, echoes one of the most haunting themes of humankind.
