초록

沖縄に伝わる人間や蛇の婚姻関係を示した異類婚姻譚は、大きく<蛇聟>と<蛇女房>という二つの類型に分けられる。<蛇聟>の類型は、娘を妊娠させた正体が蛇として現れるが、その蛇を殺害するどころか、むしろ蛇の実体が神と判明し、その子孫たちも御嶽の神として崇められている特徴が強い。言い換えれば異類である蛇聟を退治することに重点を置くよりは異類である蛇の正体が御嶽の神として崇められている子孫の役割に焦点が合わせられている。 他にも<蛇聟>の類型には、浜下りのような年中行事の由来が現われるのが特徴的である。ここでは異類である蛇の子孫が神ならぬ蛇として描写されるが、これは蛇をこれ以上神として認識しない時代的な変化が説話に反映され、蛇の神聖性を完全に欠落させたものと解釈される。 一方、沖縄の<蛇女房>の類型には、蛇女房という異類に対する特別な神聖性や霊力はあまり認められない。ただし子供が無事に育つようにしてくれたヘビの目玉には、特別な呪力が盛り込まれているように語られる。言うならば、異類の蛇女房は、人間界に子孫を残し、繁栄をもたらす存在として出現したのである。

영어초록

Heterogeneous marriages stories which express marital relationship of human and snake handed down for generations in Okinawa can be classified roughly into <snake groom> type and <snake bride> type. As for the <snake groom> type, the identity which makes the virgin pregnant has been found snake, but the substance of snake has been found God, not kills the snake, there is distinct characteristic that the descendants are worshipped as God of Utaki. In other words, it is focused on the role of descendant that the heterogeneous descendant is worshiped as God of Utaki as identity of heterogeneous snake, rather than be focused on eradicating the heterogeneous snake groom.
In addition, <snake groom> type is characteristic in appearing the origin of annual events like Hamaori. The descendant of heterogeneous snake is described as young snake, not as God, but the chronological changes are reflected in the tales, which the snake is not recognized as God anymore. After all, it is interpreted as it is missing the sanctity of snake completely.
On the one hand, <snake bride> type of Okinawa does not emphasize special sanctity or spiritual power of heterogeneity like snake bride, but this study has found out that the snake eyes which make child grow safe and sound contain pecial divine power. In addition, this study has found that the appearance of snake bride like heterogeneity produced results which brought about the prosperity to leave the descendants to the world of mortals.
