In the winter of 373 BC, on the southern shore of the Gulf of Corinth, stood Helike: the first city of Achaea, home of a sanctuary of Poseidon that Homer had sung about, where a bronze statue of the god stood holding a sea-horse in his hand. Five days before the end, according to an ancient account, every mouse, snake and beetle in the town left by the road to Keryneia. The people watched them go, and could not guess why. In the middle of the night, the ground began to shake. Houses fell on sleeping families in the dark. When daylight came, the survivors ran out of the ruins, and the sea rose over them. The water covered the city and the sacred grove of Poseidon until only the tops of the trees could be seen. Ten Spartan ships at anchor offshore were lost with the city. The Achaeans sent two thousand men to recover the dead, and could not. For two thousand years, people looked for Helike in the sea. A century and a half after the disaster, ferrymen told the scholar Eratosthenes that the bronze Poseidon was still standing under the water, tearing their nets. Travellers and archaeologists, from François Pouqueville to Spyridon Marinatos and the MIT sonar pioneer Harold Edgerton, searched the sea bed and found nothing. In 2001, Dora Katsonopoulou and Steven Soter found the city at last: not in the sea, but under the fields, buried by an ancient lagoon. But the most extraordinary thing about Helike is not how it was lost. It is how it was remembered. When the city of Poseidon went down, Plato was about fifty-five years old. Years later he wrote about a proud island of Poseidon, with a temple, a statue of the god and sacrificial bulls, that disappeared into the sea "in a single day and night of misfortune". He called it Atlantis. And the coast of Helike has kept telling the same story: in 1861 a strip of shore sank under the sea, and in 1995 an earthquake brought down a hotel called the Eliki. In this documentary you will understand why the Gulf of Corinth is one of the fastest-opening rifts on Earth, why the people of Helike refused to hand over a statue of their god even after their own league voted against them, how an ancient prophecy led them to commit the very sacrilege they feared, what a comet, a pillar of fire and a column of fleeing animals meant to the Greeks, why the city was searched for in the wrong element for two thousand years, why modern scientists now argue that the legend of total destruction was exaggerated, and why a respected Oxford scholar believed the destruction of Helike was pretty certainly in Plato's mind when he wrote about Atlantis. 📚 MAIN SOURCES — Soter, S., Katsonopoulou, D.
