Ampheres

One of the 10 original Atlantean kings listed by Plato (in Kritias). His name
means “he who encompasses,” or “fitted or joined on both sides,” suggestive of a
power center located midway between Western Europe and the Outer Continent
of the Americas, such as the Azore Islands, where possible Atlantean remains
have been found. Ampheres might be linked to the amphora, or drinking vessel of
King Gradlon, king of Ys, in Brittany’s pre-Christian tradition of a sunken island.
