In his essay Atlantis och Syrakusai ( Atlantis und Syrakus ), first published in Swedish in 1917 in Swedish in the journal Eranos , he took the view that Plato's account of Atlantis reflected the geographical, social and political conditions of ancient Sicily and the Sicilian city-state of Syracuse .
