Daughter of Susanoo-no-Mikoto. When Oonamuchi-no-Kami visited Ne-no-Kuni, he was put into the snake, centipede, and bee chambers by Susanoo-no-Mikoto and put to the test. Susanoo gave Oonamuchi-no-Kami a fin of a charm to help him escape the danger, and Oonamuchi-no-Kami became his wife. Oonamuchi-no-Kami then stole the sacred weapons and ritual vessels and escaped from Ne-no-Kuni together with Susanoo-no-Mikoto. Oonamuchi-no-Kami was able to become Okuninushi-no-Mikoto (ruler of Ashiwara-no-Nakatsukuni) only after marrying Suserihime-no-Mikoto, so it can be said that he has the essence of a shrine maiden king. Furthermore, Wakasuserihime-no-mikoto, who appears in the "Izumo no Kuni Fudoki" (Kanto no Korinamesa no Sato), is likely the original image of this deity.

素戔嗚尊(すさのおのみこと)の娘。根国(ねのくに)を訪れた大己貴神(おおなむちのかみ)が、素戔嗚尊に蛇、蜈蚣(むかで)、蜂(はち)のそれぞれの室(むろ)に入れられて試練を受けたとき、呪物(じゅぶつ)の比礼(ひれ)を与えて難を逃れさせ、その妻となって大己貴神とともに聖なる武器、祭器を奪って根国を脱出する。大己貴神は、須勢理毘売命を妻にして初めて大国主命(おおくにぬしのみこと)(葦原中国(あしわらのなかつくに)の支配者)となることから、巫女(みこ)王的本質をもつといえる。なお、『出雲国風土記(いずものくにふどき)』(神門郡滑狭郷(かんとのこおりなめさのさと))にみえる和加須世理比売命(わかすせりひめのみこと)は、その原像であろう。 [吉井 巖] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
