Abstract | All sessions, Cities, Myths, and Literature I, II, and III are intended to find new connections between ancient myths and medieval constructions of real or imagined cities in literature. A special focus on Asian cities such as Qara Qorum and Tokyo should allow the shedding of new light on specific aspects of Western and Eastern images of cities and their importance. |
