Metamorphoses and Ambivalences of Dragons in Two Korean Myths: “Lady Suro” and “The Monk Hyet'ong Defeats the Dragon”
Iris 42 (2022)
Abstract
The two mythical tales from the Samguk yusa, “Lady Suro” and “Monk Hyet’ong Defeats the Dragon” reveal the little-known evil character of the Korean dragons. The second story presents a particular scene of a confrontation between a hero and a malicious dragon; this story leads us to reflect on the question of the symbolism of evil embodied by the Dragon who has a vengeful character. The dragon symbol and its semantic variations were constructed specifically within the singular Korean context and cannot be limited to Chinese Buddhist heritage.Links
