Abstract
1. The Sumerian literary text Gilgamesh and Agga, for example, occurs within or just outside of the walls of the city; see edition in Römer (1980). On the division between the country and city, see Richardson (2007). Berlin (1983) applies a distinction between “our settlement” and “our country,” with many fantastical settings occurring Inevitably they find their way into the forest. It is there that they lose and find themselves. It is there that they gain a sense of what is to be done. The forest is always large, immense, great, and mysterious. No one ever gains power over the forest, but the forest possesses the power to change lives and alter destinies. (Zipes 1987, 66)
