고대 로마와 동북아시아의 신화 분석: 늑대와 새 -건국신화 비교를 통한 고대 지중해 세계와 동북아시아의 문명 교류의 가능성- = The Wolves` Children: Foundation Myths and Cross-cultural Contacts in the Ancient World

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This purpose of this paper is to posit the possibility of various forms of cultural intercourse between the cultures of the Mediterranean Sea and the Orient through the reviewing of various cultures` foundation myths. Observing the myths of the Romans and the Asian nomadic peoples, such as the Turks, Huns and Mongols, one is struck by certain similarities. In the foundation stories of early Rome, Aeneas, the forefather the Roman people, was a refugee from the city of Troy. The twin brothers who actually founded Rome, Romulus and Remus, were abandoned and survived after being suckled by a she-wolf. Similarly, in the mythologies of the Turks, Huns and Mongols one encounters stories of newborns left to be raised by wolves or deer. In this same vein, in the ancient Korean kingdom of Buyeo there are often references to shamanistic deer. Another point of similarity is that indications of kingship occurred through bird divination or augury in these various cultures. Romulus was preferred as a king as he had observed more eagles than his brother Remus. In a similar way, kingship was often awarded through the mechanism of bird-auguries in the ancient Turk, Mongol, Skito-Siberian and Buyeo cultures. The contender for the crown is often escorted by eagles or crows, proof that his selection was sanctioned by the gods. The foundation myths of Aeneas and the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus, allude to the possibility of intercultural exchanges between Rome and the Asian peoples as the myths contain common elements. In light of this, the theory of the Indo-European origin of Rome should be reexamined.
