it's nice to maintain a proper perspective on things.
Thing thing about this Atlantis is that if Socrates (Or whoever for that matter) knew about this then it was around during recorded history. I think any event that would plunged a entire city/nation into the ocean would have been something that would have been mentioned somewhere.
It was an allegory, not a history. It was invented by Plato like 95% of the stuff that Socrates "said".
And Uki I spent YEARS researching stuff like Atlantis in my teens before I came to that position. This isn't a quick wiki job here, this is experience speaking.
There was never a lost island of atlantis. The atlantis fable was an allegory most likely constructed based off the (relatively cataclysmic) collapse of the Minoan kingdom on Crete.
