Gyeongdok Lee, a professor of cultural anthropology, discusses the main plots and characters of Korean mythology and explains the symbolism and hidden meanings of ancient legends and legends. Korea has long been under the influence of other nations, and its mythology has been thoroughly forgotten. Now that the culture of this country is conquering the world, it is time to learn more not only about its present, but also about its past. In Korean legends, dragons rule the seas, the afterlife is a vast flower meadow, and women often defeat men. The author of this book clearly shows that if one looks deeper into these bizarre and fascinating stories, one can find the key to understanding the entire Korean culture. Gyeongdok Lee shows authentic Korean mythology through the eyes of a Korean. These amazing stories bear the mark of a unique culture, with a worldview so unlike that of the West. And yet they will be understood by everyone - that is the power of myth to unite people around the world.
