Hi Rick,

The point is that Plato's Atlantis isn't a myth in the traditional sense. We know when and where the story originated - with Plato. We even know WHY the story was made up; it's all there in the Republic and the subsequent dialogues. The "myth" of Atlantis didn't really become anything beyond Plato until Donnelly started writing about it in the C19 AD!

God is our guide! from field, from wave, From plough, from anvil, and from loom; We come, our country's rights to save, And speak a tyrant faction's doom: We raise the watch-word liberty; We will, we will,we will be free!
