Poseidonis


Poseidonis is the last remnant of the lost continent of Atlantis, mentioned by Algernon Blackwood in his short story, "Sand", in his story collection, Four Weird Tales and is also detailed in a series of short stories by Clark Ashton Smith. Smith based Poseidonis on Theosophical scriptures about Atlantis, and his concept of "the last isle of foundering Atlantis" is echoed by the Isle of Númenor in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium.

Stories in the Poseidonis Cycle

In the Pusadian series of short stories by L. Sprague de Camp, Poseidonis refers to the fictional lost island continent of Pusad, whose name was later corrupted to Poseidonis by the Greeks and whose fate was supposedly one basis for the Atlantis legend.
The 1929 Malay-language novel Drama dari Krakatau, about the Krakatoa eruption, starts depicting the origins of the Malay archipelago from rising sea levels caused by the sinking of Poseidonis.
