Korean Mythology: Captivating Myths, Legends, and Folktales from Korea Clayton Matt
Have you ever encountered a noblewoman who was so beautiful that every time she walked by a body of water, the divine being who lived there kidnapped her? You will get to meet both of them in this book.Long ago, Korea was divided into the three kingdoms of Koguryo, Silla, and Paekche. Or a mole who wanted to marry his beloved daughter to the wind?
Many of these myths were first written down in a collection called Samguk yusa, or "Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms," which was compiled by a Buddhist monk named Iryeon in the late thirteenth century.Changes in religious belief across the centuries came to have an important impact on Korean mythology. Each kingdom had its own culture, myths, and legends. The earliest religion was a form of shamanism, and the belief in gods and spirits who inhabit animals and mountains come to the fore in several of these tales.
