Atlantis
Atlantis "island of Atlas" is a fictional island mentioned within an allegory [citation needed] on the hubris of nations in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias, where it represents the antagonist naval power that besieges "Ancient Athens", the pseudo-historic embodiment of Plato's ideal state in The Republic. In the story, Athens repels the Atlantean attack unlike any other nation of the known world, supposedly giving testament to the superiority of Plato's concept of a state.The story concludes with Atlantis falling out of favor with the deities and submerging into the Atlantic Ocean.
