Jennifer Westwood is a well-regarded folklorist who has written a number of books on her subject over the past forty years. She has also produced a useful, comprehensive, but somewhat short introductory work on Atlantis^[583] in the Mysteries of the Ancient World series. Westwood, in looking at the Minoan Hypothesis, relates how recent studies have shown that the eruption of Santorini occurred a century and a half before the collapse of the Minoan civilisation on Crete.
