The Myth on The Birth of The First Queen in Shilla Dynasty.

in #the7 years ago

There are common stories in the myth of the Royal Family in Shilla dynasty

There were 3 family names in Shilla dyansty.
As I told in previous posting, the first family name who opened Shilla dynasty was ‘Park’

After the Park, ‘Seok’ family became a King.
Seok family had also similar myth with Park Hyeokgeose, the first king.

Third family was the ‘Kim’
They also had same myth with ‘Park’ and ‘Seok’

In this posting, I’d like to introduce the myth of the first Queen.
The first Queen of Shilla dynasty was believed to be born from the flank of the Dragon near the well.
Her name was ‘Al yeong’

There are complicated interpretation on the record of the birth myth

It is told that there are some allegory when it comes to the animals of the myth of birth
Dragon looked like a political power from the sea. In other hands, White Horse could be interpreted as a political power coming from northern nomad.

In the myth of the First King and Queen’s birth myth, we could estimate the Royal family as a conjunction between Sea power and Northern monad tribes.

One thing you need to keep in mind is there was no interpretation on the characteristics of White Horse found in the myth of First King, Park Hyeokgeose.

But in my opinion, the white horse could be interpreted as a symbol of Northern Nomad.
