A legend that tells of the origin of a nation, tribe, or kinship group. It often includes the deeds and deeds of a divine being or semi-divine hero who is the ancestor of the group in question. Some of these myths share motifs with human origin myths, but since the story usually unfolds after the order of the universe has been established, many of them tell of the emergence of a progenitor from various pre-existing realms, such as a descent from the heavens, a coming over the sea, or an emergence from beneath the earth. They may also migrate over land from another land. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
