🎙️ From The Void – The Lost City of Atlantis (w/ Dr. Steven Kershaw)

Was Atlantis real… or simply Plato’s perfect lie?

In this captivating episode of From The Void, host John Williamson dives deep into the myth, mystery, and meaning behind one of history’s most enduring legends: Atlantis. Joining the show is Dr. Steven Kershaw – classicist, historian, and author of A Brief History of Atlantis – to help unravel the enigma.

We explore:

•The origins of Atlantis in Plato’s dialogues (Timaeus and Critias)

•Whether Plato meant Atlantis as a historical account or a moral allegory

•How the myth of Atlantis evolved across centuries of storytelling and pseudoscience

•The 19th and 20th century obsession with finding it

•Why Atlantis continues to hold sway over the imagination

Whether you’re a skeptic, a seeker, or someone caught in between, this episode is a thought-provoking journey into the blurred lines between myth, metaphor, and misunderstood history.
