Robert Graves (1895-1985), the renowned poet and mythologist, placed Atlantis^[342] in the region of modern Tunisia and Libya. He first did this in a 1953 article that followed the writings of Diodorus Siculus. He firmly believed that the salts marshes of North Africa were the remnants of Lake Tritonis where Atlantis had existed prior to a destructive catastrophe that led to the dispersal of its survivors in various directions. However, Jean Deruelle^[278] claims that Graves was the first to suggest the Dogger Bank as the location of Atlantis.
