Reply to comment by DLM4473 in TIL that the "Lost City of Atlantis" was invented by the philosopher Plato, as a fake enemy for Athens that lost favour of the gods and was sunk in to the sea. by PDRugby

The guy he’s replying to literally said he did…

You need to literally look up what literally means !

You need to reach the reading comprehension of a third grader, OC said “just where Plato said it would be” about Troy, when the ancient texts that reference Troy, the Iliad and the Odyssey, were definitely not written by Plato.

And at no point did the OC say they were written by Plato ! Did nobody reference Troy after Homer ?

Do you need to look up comprehension as well ?

Plato never described where Troy is… OC is an Atlantis believer who just pulled the name of the one Greek writer he knows out of his ass. Atlantis is an allegory invented by Plato.
