In my own thread, I've been postulating about the possibility that Plato and a few others over the centuries were visiting the future in mind altered states.  That's why I said here, that without embellishing anything and just accept that what they knew about the lay of the land was different than what it really was.

That is not to say that Plato didn't see the akashic records and took a tale from there, however, in light of scientific discoveries, I would suggest that he saw the future not the past.  If science is correct and the earth was mostly covered in ice up until 10,000 years or so ago, there wouldn't really be any place for the non-existent triremes to sail, would there?
