his lover. When the song reached the court, the king expelled the princess. Mu tracked her down and married her. Upon returning to Baekje, the princess discovered that her new husband's yam field was full of gold whose value he had been unaware of. The Silla princess's discovery of gold in her husband's yam fields closely parallels Gameunjang-agi's discovery of the same, and the princess's expulsion for sexual impropriety has been compared to the goddess's expulsion for staking a claim to sexual power through her linea nigra. A major difference is that the woman is the protagonist of the Samgong bon-puri, whereas the man is the hero of the Samguk yusa legend. Still, this thirteenth-century story and the modern Samgong bon-puri may stem from a single source. Notes References Citations Works cited Korean shamanic narratives
