Korean Tradition
Jumong
The egg-born son of Heaven and of the River Earl's daughter, a peerless archer who flees East Buyeo when fish and turtles rise to bridge a river for him, founds Goguryeo at Jolbon, and in the earliest account ascends to heaven on a yellow dragon.
Hatched from an egg laid by Yuhwa, daughter of Habaek, after she was touched by the sunlight of Heaven; son of Haemosu in Samguk Yusa and Yi Gyu-bo.
The Gwanggaeto Stele of 414 CE, the oldest written source for any Korean foundation myth, says that King Chumo, son of the Heavenly Emperor and the daughter of Habaek, broke from an egg; traveling south, he reached a great river and declared himself son of heaven and grandson of Habaek, and reeds joined and turtles surfaced to let him cross. He founded his capital on the mountain west of Holbon. Tired of the world, he was fetched by a yellow dragon sent from heaven and rose to heaven from a hill east of Holbon, standing on the dragon's head.
