In his interpretation of the Platonic Timaeus, the Neoplatonist philosopher Proclus (412-485) used the Atlantis myth in order to implement his theory concerning the derivation of the sensible world from a certain transcendent reality on the basis of the monistic orientation of his philosophical system. This myth offered Proclus the philosophical and the historical frame so as to show that a war between human societies can correspond to and depict with re­markable exactness the rivalry, which is evident in the universe.
