Beneath the peaceful waters of the Gulf of Corinth lies one of history’s greatest mysteries — the Lost City of Helike, a thriving ancient Greek city swallowed by the sea in a single catastrophic night around 373 BC.

In this legends and lore...where history meets mystery episode, we explore the true story behind Helike — the real-life inspiration for the legend of Atlantis.
Ancient writers including Plato, Strabo, and Pausanias described the city’s sudden destruction following a powerful earthquake and tsunami, a natural disaster so complete that Helike vanished without a trace for more than 2,000 years.
For centuries, scholars believed Helike was only a myth — until modern archaeology uncovered ruins beneath layers of sediment, confirming that the ancient tales were true.

✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:
The rise of Helike as a powerful and wealthy Greek city
The dramatic night it disappeared beneath the waves
How ancient storytellers linked Helike to the legend of Atlantis
The cutting-edge archaeological discoveries that finally revealed the truth
What Helike teaches us about natural disasters and ancient civilizations

This video will help you learn about one of the most fascinating lost cities in history. Let your mind drift into the ancient world as we uncover Greece’s own Atlantis — the Lost City of Helike.
