Homotsuwake no Mikoto (誉津別命), is the Son of Emperor Suinin, and Saho-hime.[1][2]
Birth
[edit]In the Kojiki, his mother had not yet given birth. As she entered her brother's palace, labour began.[2][3] The emperor was attempting to burn her brother's due to an assassination attempt, but ordered his guards turn around and let Saho-hime give birth.[2][3] Eventually the empress gave birth and told Emperor Suinin, that if he considered the child his own he could take the child himself.[2][3][4] Yet as the emperor goes to retrieve his wife and new born son, his wife runs away, the boy left behind. The boy is retrieved and taken away.[2][3][4]
In the Nihon Shoki on the other hand, he is born before his mother goes into hiding at her brother's palace. [1]
In both versions he wouldn't speak until he was 30 due to the shock of his mother's death.[5][6]
Learning to speak
[edit]The Nihon Shoki version
[edit]In both the Nihon Shoki and Kojiki, there is one main myth that involves him.
By age 30 the prince did not speak and one day saw a swan, to which he finally spoke and said "what's this thing?" [1][5]
In the Nihon Shoki the emperor is so happy and asks someone to retrieve the swan. A man named Yamanobe no Ohotaka volunteers. [1][4][5] Yamanobe no Ohotaka retrieves the swan, and Homotsuwake no Mikoto finally speaks.[1][6] The emperor grants Yamanobe no Ohotaka the title of Tottori no Miyakko.
