In reconnecting Plato to his creation, he follows the work of Pierre Vidal-Naquet, whose structuralist reading of the Atlantis myth has had huge influence since its publication in 1964, and whose later work on the reception history of Atlantis provides helpful insights into why the myth was so powerful in the era of exploration and colonisation, and inspired responses such as Francis Bacon’s 1627 utopia New Atlantis.3 Gill’s book was conceived as a companion to Vidal-Naquet’s work (it is noted in the introduction to the latter); it even has the same cover image, the ‘Labyrinto d’Acqua’ from the Ducal Palace in Mantua, long seen as a depiction of Atlantis. That most perplexing question for Plato scholars, the relationship of Critias’ account of primaeval Athens—its war with Atlantis and the destruction of both cities—to Timaeus’ account of the history of the cosmos, has received detailed attention from Thomas Johansen and Sarah Broadie.5 Gill introduces all these directions in scholarship, while remaining neutral on some questions; he suggests that some might find Broadie’s view that the dialogue takes place in a non-historical setting ‘too bold to accept’ (7), but concurs with her view that whoever the speaker Critias is, we are intended to think of him in terms of Plato’s uncle, the Critias who was one of the Thirty Tyrants.
