...According to the myths of the Abnaki people, the winds are caused by the wings of a giant monster bird, but one day the hero Gluskab fought the bird and broke its wings, so that even after the wound healed, the wings were much smaller than before and the force of the winds became much gentler. According to the beliefs of the Seneca people, the winds are controlled by a good spirit called Ga-O who is friendly to humans, and at the entrance to his dwelling are locked up the north wind Ya-o-gah in the shape of a bear, the west wind Dajoji in the shape of a puma, the east wind Oyandone in the shape of an elk, and the south wind Ne-a-go in the shape of a baby deer, and by controlling these winds, Ga-O also controls the change of seasons.

…アブナーキ族の神話によれば,風は巨大な怪鳥の翼によって起こされるが,あるとき英雄のグルスカベがこの鳥と戦ってその翼を折ったので,傷が癒えても翼は前よりずっと小さくなり,風の勢いもずっと穏やかになった。セネカ族の信仰によれば,風をつかさどるのはガ・オーという名の人間に好意的な善霊で,その住居の入口にはクマの形をした北風ヤ・オ・ガー,ピューマの形をした西風ダジョジ,ヘラジカの形をした東風オヤンドネ,子ジカの形をした南風ネ・ア・ゴが閉じこめられており,これらの風たちを支配することによって,ガ・オーは季節の変化もつかさどることになっている。【吉田 敦彦】 ※「ガ・オー」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
