*''Korean'': 高句麗 ''(Goguryeo, Kokoryŏ)''
Koguryo, also known as Kokoryŏ, Goguryeo, and by a number of other spellings, was one of the [[Three Kingdoms (Korea)|Three Kingdoms]] of the Korean peninsula, lasting from roughly 37 BCE to [[668]] CE.
Koguryo figures in both Korean and Japanese origin myths, with the ''[[Chikuzen fudoki]]'' alleging that Hiboko, the tutelary deity of a prominent northern Kyushu family, first came to earth within the territory of Koguryo. Ancient Chinese sources suggest that Koguryo was first founded by a figure called in Korean either Chumong (朱蒙) or Tongmyŏng (東明), who hatched from an egg.
Koguryo was repeated attacked by the Chinese [[Sui Dynasty]], and later by an alliance between [[Tang Dynasty]] China and the Korean kingdom of [[Silla]], but was successful in fending off these attacks for roughly a century, before finally falling in 668.
