Two of Plato’s dialogues are in large part devoted to the discussion of Atlantis, so it wasn’t really just mentioned in passing. He’s literally the only ancient source of the tale; there’s a reference I’ve seen to a later Greek tourist, Creon, who claimed to have seen the written version of the story orally transmitted in the dialogues, carved on a wall of some grand building in Egypt, but as there is no such written version on any known Egyptian structure, Creon was probably getting buggered by a tour guide, who were no more reliable then than they are now.

Isn't there supposed to be graffiti on the pyramids dating back to Roman times (of the kind "xxx was here")?
