Critias : The Lost Story of Atlantis – A Fragment on Power, Decline, and Civilization

What if the lost world of Atlantis was more than just a legend—what if it was a prophecy?

• A Moral and Political Allegory – A deep reflection on the perils of corruption and unchecked ambition.

• Philosophical and Historical Significance – An essential part of Plato’s political thought and a foundational myth of Western culture.

• A Timeless Warning – Relevant to any age facing questions of leadership, balance, and societal decay.
