Akrotiri - Atlantis x Clavadista (Acapulco)
Most people have probably heard of the theory that the island of Thera/Santorini is Atlantis. The excavation of the Minoan site of Akrotiri has helped to fuel the connection.
And, although slightly unrelated- Clavadista was named after the cliff divers of Acapulco which in conjunction with the frescoes of Akrotiri made me think of the fresco from the Tomb of the Diver at the Greek city of Paestum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_the_Diver
