We drift through the lost city of Atlantis as Plato—one of the greatest minds in history—sets it down in Timaeus and Critias, tracing Atlas and Poseidon across ancient Greece. Then we weigh the Atlantis theory beside the well-documented Thera eruption, and notice how easily myth and memory trade places.Let this quiet story of endurance and devotion guide you into a restful night’s sleep.If you're new here, share where you're tuning in from or request a story for a future bedtime episode.
