Platone e Plutarco: intrecci tematici tra il logos atlantico e il mito di Iside e Osiride

This study investigates the relationship between Plato’s account on Atlantis (Timaeus- Critias) and the myth of Isis and Osiris so as it is conceived by Plutarch in the De Iside et Osiride, trying to highlight the ways Plato’s story influences Plutarch’s outlook, which at times differs from the vision that the same Plutarch shows to adhere to in the rest of his writings.
