Abstract
About 70 epithets of Atlantis, the legendary city Plato recorded from an Egyptian source, are identified in the original hieroglyphs of the Pyramid Texts. Each of these names has a specific meaning. In combination they give a rich and clear characterization of the City. For example, many epithets depict the unique round shape of Atlantis, including the Great Disk (Aten), the Eye City, the Egg City, the Great Embrace, the Head and Face.
