color of the Atlantans, something which
has as yet not been indicated by the
fragments, all of them being solid in
color and either white or black.
1t may be of interest here to quote
verbatim one of the earliest references
to Atlantis. The substance of the story
comes from Egypt, where 1T was learned
by Scion. the Greek lawgiver, from the
priests of Sais, whose secrets and mystic
res were in those days well known
enough to be proverbial The account is
transmitted to us by Critias in his I'll
moeus," who had heard his grandfather,
Critias, tell the story as told by Scion:
Overthrow OF Atlantis
1.-THE most famous of all the Athenian
exploits was the overthrow of the island
Atlantis. This was a continent lying
over against the Pillars of Hercules, in
extent greater than Libya and Asia to-
gether, and was the passage to other ISL
ands and to another continent, of which
the Mediterranean sea was only the har-
Dor; and within the pillars the empire
of Atlantis reached to Egypt and Tyr
rhenia. This mighty power was arrayed
against Egypt and Hellas and all the
countries bordering on the Mediterranean.
Then did your city bravely. and won re-
nown over the whole earth. For at the
peril of her own existence, and when the
other Hellenes had deserted her. she
repealed the invaders, and of her own ac-
cord gave liberty to all the nations
within the pillars. A little while after
ward there was a great earthquake, and
your warrior race all sank into the earth
anG the great island Of Atlantis also dis
appeared in the sea- This Is the expla-
nation of the shadows which are found
in that part of the Atlantic ocean,.
There Is no doubt that this account Is
extremely fanciful In parts, and the de-
sire OF the priest of Sails to please Scion
may be the reason why Athens is cou-
pied with the story. 1t may be accepted
