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.
