Foundation legends and cultural integration in the ancient Mediterranean [sound recording] / [sponsored by the J. Paul Getty Museum].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/298456444

The colloquium was designed to explore the question of why ancient peoples frequently ascribed the origins of their own cities or nations to founders who came from abroad.
