Amphictyonies

Term for political confederations of sometimes large kingdoms in classical Greece,
derived from “Amphictyon,” son of Deucalion and Pyrrha, the couple who survived
the Great Flood. Deucalion was a nephew of Atlas and, therefore, an Atlantean.
Amphictyon helped reestablish civilization by reading omens, particularly in dreams.
He was also the first post-deluge survivor to mix water and wine, which means he
preserved the antediluvian Dionysiac mystery religion in Greece. The amphictyonies
reflect not only his name, but the political organization of Atlantean civilization,
which was a confederation of kingdoms, as described by Plato in Timaeus and Kritias.
