Drowned Cities/Places
The Ancients
In the wake of the 19th century, many European writers
and folklorists recorded legends about doomed cities in
countries like France, Great Britain, Spain or Germany.
However, that cycle of legends turned out to appear
particularly popular and alive in the Celtic region. It is
said that legends are not necessarily history yet
legends are part of history. While this cycle of legends
about drowned cities have mostly faded away
everywhere else in Europe, they have kept alive and
left a very strong mark in the popular culture of the
Celtic countries, adding one more similarity to the many
things we already have in common.
Who, what where and when?
