Bilingual collection. Plato recounts the war that once pitted Athens against the island of Atlantis. The narrator, Critias, describes each of the two powers, their territory, their population, their habitat, and their resources. He contrasts the reasonable virtue of the Athenians with the brutal power of the Atlanteans. The "myth of Atlantis" is originally the work of a philosopher concerned with the life of the city: the Atlantean story is a political treatise.
