story cycles ?

Have you ever heard " story cycles " before ?

Medieval Arabic story cycles, such as the Arabian Nights, are in some ways similar to parts of the Homeric epics.

Questions,

Why dont we use possession after Arabic , for example Arabic's story cycles ?

What is " story cycles "?

Thanks

I guess that there's no /'s/ due to the fact that "Medieval Arabic" works as an adjective and it modifies "story cycles". When it comes to the other question... I'm not sure what "story cycles" are...
