An A-Z Guide to the Search for Plato's Atlantis

Neith

Neith was an ancient Egyptian goddess and patron god of Sais, where Solon is said to have learned about Atlantis. Neith is often identified with the Greek goddess Athena as well as the Berber and Punic goddess Tanith (Tanit, Tanut), although this has been disputed (a). Tanith is said to be derived from the

Phoenician lunar goddess and claims have been made that Tanit was also a Hyksos goddess.
