差分

最近の学者^{（''誰？''）}の中には、伝説のロック鳥をニュージーランドのハーストワシと比較する人もいる。体長1.4m、翼を広げると3mもあり、15世紀頃に絶滅したが、おそらくマオリの''テ・ホキオイ''（Te Hokioi）または''テ・ハカワイ''（Te Hakawai）の伝説に影響を与えたと思われる<ref>http://nzbirds.com/birds/haasteagle.html , New Zealand Birds , 2010-07-09</ref>。テ・ハカワイは色鮮やかな巨大な鳥で、時折地上に降りてきては人間を食べていたが、普段は人知れず雲の中で暮らしていた、という伝説がある。名前の由来となった鳴き声が聞こえるのみである。。テ・ハカワイは色鮮やかな巨大な鳥で、時折地上に降りてきては人間を食べていたが、普段は人知れず雲の中で暮らしていた、という伝説がある。名前の由来となった鳴き声が聞こえるのみである。確かに''ホキオイ''は、ロック鳥がそうであったように、実在の動物をモチーフにした複合神話獣であるように思われる。1980年代には、夜行性の小さな渉禽類であるシギのオスが、交尾の際に尾で予想外に大きな轟音を立てることが発見された<ref>Miskelly (1987), Galbreath & Miskelly (1988)</ref>。''ホキオイ''の色彩は、既知のどの鳥とも一致せず、一般に猛禽類としては極めて異例であると思われる。このように、''ホキオイ''の音はシギの不気味な「太鼓の音」であったと思われるので、先祖が先人からの伝承として知っていた大鷲の話も同様に説明される。

Indeed, the ''hokioi'' seems to be a composite mythical beast inspired by actual animals, just like the roc appears to have been. In the 1980s, it was found<ref>Miskelly (1987), Galbreath & Miskelly (1988)</ref> that male ''[[Coenocorypha]]'' snipes, tiny [[nocturnal]] [[wader]]s, produce an unexpectedly loud [[Drumming (snipe)|roaring sound]] with their tails during mating flights. The supposed coloration of the ''hokioi'' is not matched by any known bird, and generally would be extremely unusual for a bird of prey. Thus, as it seems likely that the ''hokioi'' was the eerie "drumming" of the snipes, explained with the ancestor's tales about the giant eagles which they still knew from living memory. ==Religious tradition== ===Michael Drayton===Through the 16th century the existence of the roc could be accepted by Europeans. In 1604, [[Michael Drayton]] envisaged the rocs being taken aboard [[Noah's Ark|the Ark]]: <blockquote><poem>All feathered things yet ever knowne to men,From the huge Rucke, unto the little Wren;From Forrest, Fields, from Rivers and from Pons,All that have webs, or cloven-footed ones;To the Grand Arke, together friendly came,Whose severall species were too long to name.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The works of Michael Drayton|last=Drayton|first=Michael|publisher=Blackwell|year=1961|volume=3|location=Oxford|pages=338}}</ref></poem></blockquote> ===Ethiopian===The rukh is also identified in the Ethiopian holy book ''[[Kebra Negast]]'' as the agent responsible for delivering the blessed piece of wood to [[Solomon]] which enabled the great king to complete [[Solomon's Temple]]. This piece of wood also is said to have transformed the [[Queen of Sheba]]'s foot from that of a goat to that of a human. The piece of wood that the rukh brought was therefore given an honored place in the Temple and decorated with silver rings. According to tradition, these silver rings were given to [[Judas Iscariot]] as payment for betraying [[Jesus]]; the piece of wood became Jesus's cross. == See also ==* [[Eagle (Middle-earth)]], the giant birds of [[J.
