Atlantis : The Story : A Lost City Of Atlantis

In the first centuries of the Christian era, Aristotle was taken at his word and Atlantis was little discussed.(lookup) In 1627, the English philosopher and scientist Francis Bacon published a unrealistic novel titled “The New Atlantis,” depicting, like Plato before him, a politically and scientifically advanced society on a previously unknown oceanic island. In 1882, former U.S. Congressman Ignatius L. Donnelly published “Atlantis: The Antediluvian World,”(lookup) which touched off a frenzy of works attempting to locate and learn from a historical Atlantis. Donnelly hypothesized an advanced civilization whose immigrants had populated much of ancient Europe, Africa and the Americas, and whose heroes had inspired Greek, Hindu and Scandinavian

Atlantis was an extraordinary city that tragically and mysteriously vanished from a day and a night. The story that Plato said is that Atlantis was a island that was better than life itself, As Stemman stated in his book about Atlantis “Poseidon, Greek God of the sea and also of earthquakes was given Atlantis, and there he fell in love with a mortal called Cleito” (56). The city of Atlantis is a place that had questionable existence, Atlantis was a real naval power in the ancient world, but sunk into the ocean. Everything about it was extraordinary including the people that lived there. But something happened and it is to be

Many years after the end of the Trojan War, Odysseus still hasn’t returned home to Ithaka. Many believe that he is dead, but the author lets us know that he is being held as a sex captive on the goddess Kalypso’s island. Kalypso has no plans of letting him go to return home either.

John Galt was a worker at a factory called Twentieth Century Motor Company which implemented a policy that ultimately led the company into its own destruction. The Twentieth Century Motor Company operated on the radical plan of paying its workers based on their proclaimed needs, and those who worked the hardest were required to help those who did not. Outraged by this, Galt refuses to work and swears that he will “stop the engine of the world.” As a result, brilliant industrialists begin to slowly disappear out of society forcing the collapse of capitalism to give rise to bureaucrats, politicians, and looters who find government intervention as the only means of fixing the country’s economic situation.

In the two documentaries that we watched in class “the Caravans of Gold” and the “King and City”, I could appreciated the different that they had between political, economic and the traditions and the cultural organizations.

The Odyssey is an Epic about not only Greek gods, Beasts, and the return of the great king Odysseus, but the love of a family and the power of word of mouth. In lines 324-326 of book one, one line in particular stands out. As Athena disguises herself as an old man attempting to rouse Telemachus to search for his father Odysseus, she states, “Someone may tell you something, or you may catch a rumor straight from Zeus, rumor that carries news to men like nothing else.” Despite Athena directly stating how powerful rumors can be, the full extent of the truth of this statement is found throughout the text, not just in the form of rumors, but prayers, blessings, and even normal dialogue. As one reads the Odyssey, it becomes clear that the power of words is a strong one indeed.

Atlantis is a city that was never found or even placed on a map but only mentioned in a book

It is important to keep reading, “The Odyssey.” Even though it is 2800, years old, students still need to learn about it. It is important to continue studying “The Odyssey” because is it a moral story, the historical significance is important, and it is essential to study other culture’s mythology.

Ten years after the fall of Troy, the victorious Greek hero Odysseus has still not returned to his native land Ithaca. A band of rowdy suitors, believing Odysseus to be dead, has overrun his palace, courting his faithful—though weakening—wife Penelope, and going through his stock for food. With permission from Zeus, the goddess Athena, Odysseus' greatest immortal ally, appears in disguise and urges Odysseus' son Telemachus to seek news of his father at Pylos and Sparta. However, the suitors, led by Antinous, plan to ambush him upon return.

Over 10,000 years ago, in the middle of the ocean, sat an island populated by a noble and mighty race. Natural resources provided by the island brought the people great wealth. The people of Atlantis began to grow greedy in their self-desire. The gods saw this and were appalled. They sought to end this disgrace. Quickly, with one surge of water, the island of Atlantis and its people, were swallowed by the sea. At least, that’s what the stories say. Philosophers and historians have been interested in the legend of Atlantis of nearly 2,400 years (Atlantis). The unsolved mystery of Atlantis has multiple theories and is still incorporated in pop culture today.

The Odyssey was about Odysseus and his men and how they were going back home. They were coming back from the Trojan War. In the beginning Odysseus and his men were trying to find their way back home. In the middle of the book they had to go to the underworld to get directions to get back home. In the end of the book Odysseus is back home with Penelope and his son.

Though unlike the various theories about Atlantis the Theran theory continues to provide evidence that attempts to prove Atlantis existed. The geography of

Many mysteries are hidden deep in the world. Hearing of them, most people just brush them off as childish myths. Attempting to prove them wrong will be difficult. What if some mysteries are real? Are we just not looking Hard enough? Maybe our logic is forcing us to ignore our imagination. Despite other theories, Atlantis is not just a Fairy Tale.

"Atlantis: The Lost Empire" was long on movie reviewers in the early 2000s. Disney took out their traditional singing animals and catchy songs for a more serious full movie which wasn't taken well (McCarthy 2). McGurk had his own shortcoming when it came to his viewing of the movie. He includes that suplimentary and low level characters are not understood or connected with by the viewer because there is nothing special about them. McGurk then goes on to discuss how even the main characters fail to gain a close connection with the viewers (10). Whereas McGurk states that the characters fail to gain a close connection or be understood, Wloszczyna directs our attention towards the fact that the movie hides all of the feelings which the viewer

Atlantis was described to be a large island, which once existed on the Atlantic Ocean but in the form of an allegory that was mentioned by Plato in his works of Timaeus and Critias. The Atlantis in both of Plato’s works was presented as an antagonist city possessing of great naval power that encircles the Ancient City of Athens, a complete pseudo – historic embodiment of Plato’s desired ideal state in the works of Plato’s republic. Somewhere in the story of Plato’s works, it was told that the city of Athens was successful in repelling an attack set by Atlantis City, and at the epilogue of the story, Atlantis city drowns and forever submerges under the depths of Atlantic Ocean, as its loss on their favour from the Gods. The story of Atlantis city/island was told in many other versions around the globe, but sadly it does not exist in the real world we live in, even though we’ve modernized and advanced ourselves through the change of time and history. Conversely, there were news and discoveries about an evidence in the form of an archaeological land and underwater sites in various locations in different countries, but one unique location was chosen as that evidence, which proves the past
