This paper explores three foundation myths in Korean culture and analyses them within the context of Peter Lee's observations. The paper argues that Lee was correct in observing that many of the myths included specific ingredients. Lee's statement is valid upon a close reading of the foundation myths of Tangun, Pak Hyokkose, and The Lay of King Tongmyong. All three myths synchronize native beliefs, as well as the Chinese concept of the trinity of heaven, earth and man. 4 pgs. 3 f/c. 1b.
