Professor of Cultural Anthropology Kyungdeok Lee talks about the main plots and characters of Korean mythology, and also explains the symbolism and hidden meaning of ancient legends and traditions. Korea has long been under the influence of other states, and its mythology was thoroughly forgotten. Now that the culture of this country is conquering the world, it's time to learn more about not only its present, but also its past. In Korean legends, dragons rule the seas, the underworld is an endless flowery meadow, and women often defeat men. The author of the book clearly shows that if you look deeper into these bizarre and fascinating stories, you can find the key to understanding the entire Korean culture. Gyeongdeok Lee shows authentic Korean mythology through the eyes of a Korean. These amazing stories bear the imprint of a unique culture, with its worldview, so unlike the Western. And at the same time, they will be understandable to everyone - this is the power of the myth that unites people around the world.
