An ancient Greek city on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea about 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) northeast of Alexandria, Egypt.
The historian, Herodotus, stated that he had visited the city about 450 BCE but, until very recently the existence of the city was thought to be mere legend; in the year 2000 CE, divers found the ruins of the once famous city in the shallow waters near the coast of Egypt; Herakleion pre-dates Alexandria and was sunk below the waters about 800 CE during an earthquake.
