| 内容記述 | It is common for the process of earth's creation to be described as heaven and earth separating out of a disordered state of chaos, not only in Egyptian myth, but also in the Book of Genesis, Indo-European origin myths, and even Japanese myths. In Egyptian myth, it is at that point that the god Atum appears, who himself gives birth to various gods. In mythology, when a god is considered to have both the masculine principle and female principle together, then although there is one body, it means that they possess both sexes, male and female. At first, it seems like a strangely peculiar idea that out of chaos came forth gods possessing both sexes, and that these differentiated into female gods and male. But one can think of it as a condensed version of the endless evolutionary process of living things, where out of self-pollination in plants to self-fertilization in animals, the sexes are differentiated into male and female. In other words, the original form possessed both sexes and that differentiated as male and female. As a result, whether the anthropoid ape, ancient humans, or homosapiens, the male and female sexes were established in their position in human history. However, another strange phenomenon in many myths is incestual marriage. Consanguineous marriages between the gods are spoken of repeatedly in mythology. For example, in Egyptian myth, the famous Isis and Osiris are married as brother and sister, and in Greek myth, there is the mother and child marriage of Uranus the sky god and Mother Earth Gaia and the sibling marriage of Cronus and Rhea. There are also the sibling marriages of Freyr and Freya of Norse mythology, and Izanagi and Izanami of Japanese mythology. In ancient Japan there was the practice of calling one's wife "little sister", which can be said to be a vestige of sibling marriage. It is not only consanguineous marriages. In the Old Testament, in order to have children, Lot's two unmarried daughters made their father drink wine and had sex with him, each later giving birth to a child. Even though this kind of incest was, typically, considered taboo in everyday society, it is repeatedly played out in myth. And while consanguineous marriage and incest are similar concepts, strictly speaking the former means marriage that is part of a social system, while the latter is not marriage, but rather indicates the formation of a sexual relationship between close relatives whether by consent or by compulsion. For earlier research on this issue there is Mr. Atsuhiko Yoshida's "Myth and Incest". In it, Yoshida widely references consanguineous marriage and incest as related to the gods, but in particular he offers up a famous consanguineous marriage in Greek mythology as an example, namely, King Oedipus and his mother Jocasta who marry unaware of their mutual blood. But when the truth becomes known, the mother commits suicide and Oedipus pokes out his own eyes and becomes blind. Yoshida proposes that incest is inevitable behavior in the process that produces the destabilized state of chaos which disrupts order, whether at the origins and whether or not it's taboo. And after a new order is established, it is depicted as something condemned, even in myth. To reiterate, these kinds of sibling marriages, marriages between mother and child and father and child, are played out in many mythologies almost universally, starting with the genealogy of the Greek gods and the Old Testament. Certainly, in the field of cultural anthropology, it is believed that the incest taboo widely, empirically existed from the prehistoric age. Moreover, because the taboo against incest exists even in the world of anthropoid apes and animals, we think that likely in homosapiens too, in many cases, this has been strictly kept as an unwritten rule since ancient times. Even so, for some reason, whether in myth or in historical fact, the occurrence of incest was limited to the gods and specific tribes called the nobility. Even with the establishment of a new order, there is a close relationship specifically to paternal or patriarchal rule and the issue of divine succession. And together, consanguineous marriage and incest must be closely connected to monogamous and polygamous systems of marriage and to gender issues. In this paper, I would like to dig in and investigate these issues a little deeper using ancient Egypt as a case study. What I will deal with specifically is how consanguineous marriage is put forward within Egyptian myth, and the question of how that influenced the succession of divine progeny. Only I will also look at Greek myth as a case study and try comparing the two mythologies. Moreover, we know that consanguineous marriages were common in dynasties just like we see in the history of ancient Egypt. For example, the great pharaoh Ramses II (reigned 1304-1237 BC) married three of his daughters. How these kinds of historical facts and the world of myth are related is a subject that should be given focus. In this paper (1), I will mainly discuss as a case study consanguineous marriages in Egyptian myth, and I will leave historical realities as the subject of the next paper. | |||||||||
