"Atlantis is a myth, a literary construct of a far-off world, a perfect golden age," said Stephen V. Tracy, director of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. "To try and demythologize it by finding the actual place is simply wrong-headed. Good literature resonates with people, but myths such as this are meant to be symbolic."

Academics NEVER learn from the past, do they. One would think that one teaching in Greece just MIGHT remember that they once said the same exact thing about Troy.
