Τμήμα της συνομιλίας του Σόλωνα με τους Αιγύπτιους ιερείς (1)
Critias said that in Egypt, at the top of the Nile Delta there is a prefecture called Saitikos. The biggest city there was Sais WHERE King Amasis came from. The inhabitants of this city considered the goddess Neith, who in Greek was called Athena, to be the protector of this city.
Solon traveled to this city approximately between 580-590 BC. and the inhabitants offered him great honors. There, Solon met the wise priests and they talked about old events and disasters. Solon told them about Deucalion and Pyrrha and how they were saved from the flood. Then a very old one of the priests said to him:
You, Solon, remember only one of the earth's floods, whereas before many happened (specifically he said about three).
That's how they got to the topic of Atlantis.
