I have always been an aficionado of the Atlantis myth. This interpretive sketch is inspired by the ancient philosopher Plato's account of a pre-Hellenistic society that has led some believers and adventurers to speculate that its ruins lie submerged in the Mediterranean, among other places. In fact, archaeological findings are pointing to the Minoans and their volcanic catastrophe on ancient Thera as the probable origin of this legend.
