Atlantis Destroyed

by Rodney Castleden

This interpretation of the Atlantis legend equates the sunken island with Bronze Age Thera and discusses the many parallels between Minoan-influenced civilisation there and `Atlantean culture'. Using recent evidence from excavations under the ash of the smothered city, Rodney Castleden surveys what we now know of art and society on ancient Akrotiri and argues that Plato and later readers have distorted what is essentially a historical account. Now available in paperback. 225p, 19 maps, 80 b/w illus (Routledge 1998, Pb 2001)
