Sonchis of Sais
Sonchis of Saïs or the Saïte (, ''Sō̂gkhis o Saḯtēs''; BC) was an Egyptian priest who is mentioned in Greek writings as relating the account of Atlantis. His status as a historical figure is a matter of debate.
The Platonic dialogues ''Timaeus'' and ''Critias,'' written around 360 BC, relate (through the voice of Critias) how the Athenian statesman Solon (638–558 BC) traveled to Egypt and in the city of Saïs encountered the priests of the goddess Neith. A very aged priest tells him that 9,000 years earlier, Athens had been in conflict with the great power of Atlantis, which was then destroyed in a catastrophe.〔Plato, ''(Timaeus )''.〕
Plato's dialogue does not mention a name for the priest, but Plutarch (46–120 AD), in his ''Life of Solon'' identified the aged priest as Sonchis:
Plutarch gives a more detailed description on the Greek philosophers who visited Egypt and received advice by the Egyptian priests in his book ''On Isis and Osiris''. Thus, Thales, Eudoxus, Solon, Pythagoras, (some say Lycurgus also) and Plato, traveled into Egypt and conversed with the priests. Eudoxus was instructed by Chonupheus of Memphis, Solon by Sonchis of Saïs and Pythagoras by Oenuphis of Heliopolis.〔Plutarch, ''(On Isis And Osiris )'', ch. 10.〕
