《古事記》之雄略天皇像

Portrait of Empire Yuuryaku in“Kojiki”

《古事記》中所出現的雄略天皇，向來都被認為是《宋書˙倭國傅》所記載的倭王「武」。然而，《古事記》書中卻不見雄略天皇與東亞各國交涉等具體描述，反而多著墨在雄略天皇的求婚故事上。由此可知，《古事記》對於雄略天皇的故事有著揭特的理解與敘述方式，書中也存在著與歷史上之倭王「武」不同的雄略天皇像。《古事記〉的中、下卷主要是以天皇治世的故事為中心所編撰而成的。若能考察《古事記》之雄略天皇的形象，將有助於掌握《古事記》中、下卷之構造以及特色。因此，本論文針對《古事記》所描述的雄略天皇之言行、舉止、反應等等的內容進行考察，以解析《古事記》中之雄略天皇的形象和其形象於該書中的意義。透過上邊的方法，筆者發現《古事記》的雄略天皇是一位慈愛寬大並且敬畏神的天皇，同時也有專制以及好色、暴力的一面。但是整體而言，《古事記》對於雄略天皇的描述極為正面。此般的形象，與《古事記》上、中卷裡出現的英雄王有著諸多的類似點。《古事記》中所呈現的雄略天皇像，可說是具有「反近代的精神」與「擬古的性格」。
