4. Atlantis-is the name of a fictional island in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias, where it represents the antagonist naval power that besieges "Ancient Athens", the pseudo-historic embodiment of Plato's ideal state. The Legend of Atlantis

5. Atlantis is the background

6. Plato's dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias" Dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias" was written by Plato around 360 BC Plato wrote that he learned the story of his great-grandfather Critias, who in the age of ten heard this story from his grandfather. He learned about it from a great friend and a relative of his father Dropida, Solon, "the first of the seven sages." Solon himself, heard the story of the Egyptian priests of the temple of the goddess Neith at Sais, which from time immemorial kept records of all the events and knew about Atlantis. Critias, Jr. said that he had read the recording of his grandfather, his excited this story, so he remembered it. However, since he did not keep their records, then it could not forget any details or numbers. If Solon wrote the story straight from the columns of an Egyptian temple, then he could make some mistakes, not knowing perfectly the Egyptian language. Finally, Plato could easily add to the description of Atlantis and the war with her praafinyan some changes for their own purposes. Finally, it is possible that these dialogues Plato compiled from some other source, including where historical and geographical works of various authors, their own knowledge and speculation, as well as myths and tales of the Greeks and other nations.
