Thera & the Myth of Atlantis Atlantis has featured in films, graphic novels, folk tales and so forth; giving it magic and wonder in manners that appeals to various demographics. "Fire in the Sea: The Santorini Volcano: Natural History and the Legend of Atlantis" by Walter L. Friedrich is a uniquely fascinating scholarly natural history of the Greek island of Santorini, yet amazingly easy to read for a volume with such a wealth of geologic and natural history, as well as a thoughtful inclusion of Plato's writings on Atlantis. Santorini has often been connected with Atlantis, the legendary continent that plunged to the bottom of the sea while it was at its zenith. Thera, I never considered really because of many reasons, 2 being that it wasn't at the Straits of Gibraltar and Atlantis wasn't destroyed by a volcano but after all this time I can't see it can be anywhere else. The reception of Plato's Atlantis through history Even though Plato himself sustains the thruth of his story, already short time after he had published it, Atlantis was interpreted by some as an educational legend invented by Solon and /or Plato in order to glorify the virtue of the Athenians and to illustrate their philosophical ideas. The history and fate of Santorini were totally defined by the island’s volcanic activity.Through centuries the constant-changing island acquired various names, such as Stroggili (=round shape), Thera, Kallisti (=the most beautiful), Santorini etc. The mystery surrounding the destruction of the one, and the disappearance of the other has preoccupied scientists for generations. As many of you may know, seraching for Atlantis has been a favourite pastime of mine now for near on 4 years. Thera (Santorini) and Atlantis Santorini is the fairy tale island that you always see in the posters for Greece – white washed buildings with bright blue roofs clinging to the cliffs. This paper is W. Sheppard Baird's introduction of the hypothesis that massive pyroclastic superheated steam surge activity from the great Bronze Age eruption of the Santorini marine volcano may have been the primary causal event for the destruction of Neo-Palatial Minoan Crete in the Aegean. and it was connected with the tragic fate of the mythical island of Atlantis and other myths. Santorini is actually a volcano and the cliffs are the rim of the caldera.
