다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to re-orgnize the region myth in Incheon to analyze the mithical motive in folktales around Incheon. The view of this study on myth is historical. In ancient times, Incheon have been the center of a political group. I abstracted two types of the myth from this fact. The one is the eatablishing myth about the foundation of Birue-backjae(비류백제), the other is the myth of the group who migrated from Kojosun(고조선). From the tale about Agijangsu(아기장수), I could abstract the myth-type the mithical hero who failed foundation of country. I examined, that in this tale historical experience, that was moved from the center of a contury to the outskirts, reflected. In the tales of Incheon, is the myth about the various Nature-God(자연신). Especially thiese tales are connected with water. I examined that the faith about Water-God(수신) developed because of the geograpical characteristics in Incheon.
