大分県豊後大野市には豊後国武将・緒方三郎惟栄の始祖誕生を叙述する「祖母嶽伝説」が存在する。この伝説は、『古 事記』に見える苧環型蛇聟入譚に属する三輪山神婚説話と類似するもので、韓国の古代国の一つ、後百済国の始祖由来 を叙述する「甄萱伝説」ともきわめて近似している。従来学界での苧環型蛇聟入譚についての研究は、『古事記』収載の三 輪山神婚説話を中心に考察が行われ、豊後や日向地方を背景にしている「祖母嶽伝説」に中心を置いて考察した論考は皆 無に近いといえる。そこで本稿では、豊後国と日向国を舞台とする、『源平盛衰記』や『平家物語』収載のいわゆる、「祖 母嶽伝説」に焦点をあてて検討を試みた。特にその祖母嶽伝説が隣の国・韓国ではどのように展開されているのか、豊 後国や日向国の祖母嶽伝説や民間伝承の苧環型蛇聟入譚との比較を通して、両伝承の特質を鉄文化の視点から明らかに している。また従来、学界では日本には卵生型氏族神話や卵生神話が縁遠いものとされてきたが、民間伝承の苧環型蛇 聟入譚のなかに密かに伝承されているのもはじめて指摘している。さらに後百済国の始祖王の甄萱に「山の虎が来て乳 を飲ませて育てた」と記す『三国遺事』の記録についても従来の学界では、虎に対する韓国人の固有信仰として捉える傾 向が強かったが、この趣向はすでに中国の雲南省の苧環型蛇聟入譚に見えるので、甄萱伝説への直接的な影響関係も検 討する必要性が出てきた。
In the city of Bungo-Ono, Oita prefecture, there exists a Sobotake legend that describes the birth of the forefather of Ogatasaburokoreyoshi, a general of a country called Bungo. This legend not only draws parallels to the Mount Miwa-Shikon tale (A tale about a marriage between a god and a human) which is part of Odamakigata-Hebimukoiri(A tale about the use of a yarn ball to reveal a snake as a son-in-law) as it is found in Kojiki, it is also highly congruent with the Kyonhwon legend which depicts the advent of the Post-Baekje period – one of the ancient kingdoms of Korea. In the academia of the past, research on the Odamakigata-Hebimukoiri tale focused merely on the Mount Miwa legend. Therefore, a focus on the Sobotake legend set in Bungo and Hyuga is unprecedented. As such, this paper attempts to provide some first thoughts and perspectives on the Sabotake legend with Bungo and Hyuga at its center, which thus includes Genpejosuiki and Heike monogatari. This paper particularly aims to investigate how the Sabotake legend is depicted in neighboring Korea. Through a comparison of the Sabotake legend (based on Bungo and Hyuga) and Odamakigata-Hebimukoiri tale, the characterization of both is undertaken from the perspective of the ironware culture. Furthermore, according to past scholarship, the oviparity legend and the legend of oviparous clans were considered unrelated. This paper is the first of its kind to point out the implicit message behind the Odamakigata-Hebimukoiri tale. In addition, according to existing records of Samgukyusa which depicts Kyonhwon, the first king of the Post-Baekje period, as raised and fed by a tiger of the mountains, academia in the past had a strong tendency to focus on the special meanings of tigers to Koreans. However, such inclination make the legend strongly resemble the Odamakigata-Hebimukoiri tale from Unnansho, China. There is therefore a need to re-investigate the direct impact of the Kyonhwon legend.
