A 1940s musical by British composer Sir Gerald Hargreaves, who also wrote
the libretto and designed its lavish sets. The story is set in the Atlantean court,
where two factions of aristocrats argue for and against war. At the height of their
debate, the Greek hero, Achilles, fresh from his triumph over the Trojans, arrives
to plea for peace. But a warlike faction carries the day, and he flees with his lover,
the princess Atalanta, as Atlantis sinks beneath the sea, as punishment by the gods.
