Abstract
So far, type Shamanic Epic has been interpreted mainly as a family
myth. However, considering that many myths use family relationships as symbols to
explain various themes, since it is a family incident, it is not displayed only by talking
about the family. There is also a need to explore possibilities that have different
meanings.
When classified according to the type of story, it is roughly divided into Salpoori and
Sungshingut in the northern region, Chilseongpoori in the southwestern region, and
MunjonBonpoori in Jeju Island. In all versions, the conflict between the stepmother and
the child of the ex-wife appears in a major event. For Chilseongpoori and
MunjonBonpoori, the separation of the parents and the resurrection of the real mother
were added.
The conflict between the stepmother and the child of the ex-wife was compared to
the story of the origin of the golden fleece in ancient Greece, which is similar in
content. The story of the origin of the golden fleece is about eliminating famine in the
city, and trying to solve the problem with a ritual of human sacrifice. The story shows
ritual traces of the murder of a prince on behalf of the king, who is responsible for
resolving famine, was interpreted as being replaced by a royal woman represented by
stepmother. She had an allegory of the Hinuwelle type, because she was a redemption
for the abundance of crops.
The separation and resurrection of the real mother shows that the range of redemption
of the stepmother has been extended to the real mother. When redeeming, the original
offering must be hidden from God. So the real mother was separated from her family
and hid to death, but when stepmother died and the redemption was over, she was
revived and redisplayed. The stepmother, who had been read as a wicked woman, could
be read again as a redemptor for a family. When interpreted as an ancient human
sacrifice ritual, the stepmother was a sacred being who promised family affluence and
prosperity as a sacrifice.
