Revised edition. The author, a classicist, makes a strong case for a historical Atlantis within Greece, arguing that the Atlanteans were a real people. Opposing however the more sensational claims surrounding Atlantis, a rational hypothesis is offered: that Atlantis was the concentric settlement Sesklo in Thessaly and was rooted in a Neolithic tribal war. The author originally published his work as a Classics bachelor's dissertation, later published as "Atlantis as Sesklo". He has finally updated his hypothesis, putting forward new solutions in "Atlantis in Greece". The author explains: (a) How the Egyptians transmitted the myth of Atlantis to the Greeks. (b) The problem of the size of Atlantis. (c) The source of the Atlantis myth and age. (d) The shape of Atlantis. This is a must have read for any serious layperson or scholar.
