Atlantis: The Legend of a Lost City

(3) K-3 Balit's retelling of Plato's legend of Atlantis is formal and cautionary: the city founded by Poseidon flourishes, then falters and is finally destroyed when its inhabitants start acting more like greedy mortals than like gods. Exquisitely detailed illustrations, rich in geometric patterns, capture the tragic core of the story. A historical note is included.
