Chronos,
Hellenicus hasn't been discussed here until recently. On the other hand, there doesn't seem much to discuss since, from what I've seen of that work anyway, it survives only in a fragment and doesn't really tell us much of anything, other than, like you say, it refers to Atlas, too.

It does bear more investigation, though. I've noticed on a lot of the websites referring to "pre-Platonic writings referring to Atlantis." Hellenicus is seldom mentioned among them even though he should be. Just the fact that the work is entitled "Atlantis" and it exists over a hundred years before Plato should tell us it has some relationship to the original story.

By the way, I'd like to say that a lot of the new members here, like yourself and some of the others have really added a lot to the forum lately. It's good to see such a clear commitment to the research.
