1) The document discusses different interpretations of ancient myths about Atlantis, including those proposed by Socrates and others. 2) Socrates suggests interpreting myths like the abduction of Orithyia by Boreas as stories about real events, like a gust of wind blowing a girl over rocks. 3) The document analyzes theories that Atlantis represented a seafaring culture rather than a single island, and that many rich port cities involved in trade have been lost to sinking or floods.

MYTHES
• In a scene described in Plato's Phaedrus, Socrates offers a euhemeristic interpretation of a myth
concerning Boreas and Orithyia:
• "Phaedrus: Tell me, Socrates, isn't it from somewhere near this stretch of the Ilisus that people say
Boreas carried Orithyia away?
• Socrates: So they say.
• Phaedrus: Couldn't this be the very spot? The stream is lovely, pure and clear: just right for girls to be
playing nearby.
• Socrates: No, it is two or three hundred yards farther downstream, where one crosses to get to the
district of Arga. I think there is even an altar to Boreas there.
• Phaedrus: I hadn't noticed it. But tell me, Socrates, in the name of Zeus, do you really believe that
legend is true?
• Socrates: Actually, it would not be out of place for me to reject it, as our intellectuals do. I could then
tell a clever story: I could claim that a gust of the North Wind blew her over the rocks where she was
playing with Pharmaceia; and once she was killed that way people said she had been carried off by
Boreas..."[5]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/atlantis-181006181424/85/Atlantis-2-320.jpg)
