Suro (수로), or Sureung (posthumous name: 수릉, 首陵, ? - 199), commonly called Gim Suro, was the legendary founder and king of the state of Geumgwan Gaya in southeastern Korea.〔 (King Gim Suro ) at Britannica Korea〕 == Legend == According to the founding legend of Geumgwan Gaya recorded in the 13th century texts of the chronicle ''Garakguk-gi'' (hangul: 가락국기, hanja: 駕洛國記) of ''Samguk Yusa'', King Suro was one of six princes born from eggs that descended from the sky in a golden bowl wrapped in red cloth. Suro was the firstborn among them and led the others in setting up 6 states while asserting the leadership of the Gaya confederacy. 〔〔 (King Gim Suro ) at Encyclopedia of Korean Culture〕 Also according to legend, King Suro's queen Heo Hwang-ok was a princess from the Indian country of Ayodhya (아유타, 阿踰陀). She is said to have arrived in Gaya by boat. They had ten sons and two daughters in all, two sons took their mother's family name. Ayuta is today often identified with Ayodhya in India, and the tale has gained modern significance in the light of the modern-day relations between Korea and India.〔 (Heo Hwang-ok ), Busan Ilbo, 2009-01-31. Retrieved 2010-07-10.〕 The legend as a whole is seen as indicative of the early view of kings as descended from heaven. Notably, a number of Korean kingdoms besides the six Gaya made foundation legends with ties to chickens and eggs. Jumong, the founding king of Goguryeo, is said to have been born from an egg laid by Lady Yuhwa of Buyeo; Bak Hyeokgeose, the first king of Saro-guk, or Silla, is said to have hatched from an egg discovered in a well; and Gim Al-ji, the progenitor of the Gim dynasty of Shilla, is said to have been discovered in Gyerim Forest by Hogong in a golden box, where a rooster was crowing. Aspects of the legend have been mined for information about the customs of Gaya, of which little is known.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suro of Geumgwan Gaya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
