Atlantis Stickers
Description: Atlantis is a fictional island mentioned in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias as part of an allegory on the hubris of nations. In the story, Atlantis is described as a naval empire that ruled all Western parts of the known world, making it the literary counter-image of the Achaemenid Empire. After an ill-fated attempt to conquer "Ancient Athens," Atlantis falls out of favor with the deities and submerges into the Atlantic Ocean. Since Plato describes Athens as resembling his ideal state in the Republic, the Atlantis story is meant to bear witness to the superiority of his concept of a state.
Description: Atlantis is a legendary island first described by the Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias. In his writings, it serves as a moral allegory representing a massive, utopian naval power that lost divine favor and sank into the ocean due to the hubris of its people.
