Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Orichalcum is a legendary precious metal that was mentioned in Plato as used in Atlantis. (Orichalcum appears many other places in classical Greek and Roman writings—the Homeric Hymns assign gold and orichalcum ornaments to Aphrodite -- but it's the Atlantis reference that it's remembered for.) It has since been commonly used in fantasy literature and games as a type of Unobtainium. The term is Greek for "golden stone" and originally meant "mountain copper" or "mountain metal," though nobody is sure exactly what it was supposed to be. Possibilities range from an alloy of normal metals to a completely fantastic material, though the most common perception is that it is brass. |
