English description:
In ancient times, the first communities, societies, and civilizations in the Iberian peninsula, according to archaeological evidence, began to develop following a progressive local evolution tempered by the significance of outside contacts. In order to reconstruct our history, resorting to ancient poets, we strive to distinguish reality from myth in the pursuit of a bond of certainty between the data provided by historical and literary sources and the excavated remains. Greek epics, based on the Illiad and the Odyssey, are the basis for the first speculations that link societies all along the Mediterranean coast, from east to west, with a common thread. However, how many times have we been told about mythical places, such as cities of great splendor and unique cultural progress? Did the land which Plato called Atlantis and Adolf Schulten linked to Tartessos truly exist? These answers may never be revealed (they are not at the forefront of research interests nowadays); for the time being, they are lost into a mythical and legendary world. Nonetheless, they remain alive over time.

Spanish description:
En tiempos lejanos, ahora sepultadas bajo la caIda de los aNos, comienzan a formarse las primeras comunidades, sociedades y civilizaciones que se irAn desarrollando en la PenInsula IbErica, por una progresiva evoluciOn local, sin descuidar la atenciOn de los contactos forAneos previa contrastaciOn arqueolOgica. RefugiAndonos en figuras creadas por los antiguos poetas, tratamos de discernir entre lo que comUnmente se ha denominado mito-leyenda y lo real, buscando un vInculo de certeza entre los datos que revelan las fuentes literario-histOricas y los vestigios que se desentierran de nuestra primera historia, aquella que tratamos de reconstruir. La Epica occidental apoyada en los relatos homEricos de la IlIada y la Odisea, son la base de las primeras conjeturas que con un hilo, unen a las sociedades que conviven en el Mar MediterrAneo desde Oriente hasta Occidente. Pero cuAntas veces hemos oIdo contar relatos sobre mIticas ciudades de gran esplendor e inigualable progreso cultural? ExistiO aquella tierra denominada por PlatOn "AtlAntida" y que fue asociada por Adolf Schulten a Tartessos? Estas respuestas quizA nunca lleguen a desvelarse (tampoco estAn en la vanguardia de los intereses de la investigaciOn), por ahora sOlo estAn inmersas en un mundo mItico y legendario, pero es cierto que se mantienen vivas, nostAlgicas, con el paso del tiempo.
