The main subject of this article is the legend of the sad love story
between the prince and the maiden.

後継者争いで市辺押磐（いちのへのおしは）皇子が暗殺された。
In 456 AC, in October, two months after the assassination of Emperor Anko,

危険を察知し播磨の国に隠れ住んだ。
Prince Ichinohe Oshiha had two sons, Oke and Woke,
who sensed the danger and went into hiding in Harima.
二人はそこで、神秘的な美しさと不思議な力を持つ巫女
「根日女」（ねひめ）と恋におちた！
here, they fell in love with Nehime,
a priestess of mystical beauty and magical powers!
AC479年8月、父を暗殺した雄略天皇が崩御したため、二人の皇子は恋が実る前に
都に帰り、弟の袁奚（をけ）がAC485年、顕宗（けんぞう）天皇となった。
In August 479 AC, Emperor Yuryaku, who had assassinated their father, collapsed,
and the two princes returned to the capital before their love could bear fruit, and their
younger brother,Woke, became Emperor Kenzo in 485 AC.

天皇と兄は嘆き悲しみ、賀毛の里に美しい玉石で覆った墓を築いた。
When the emperor and his brother learned that Nehime had died while worrying about their safety, they grieved and built a tomb covered with beautiful boulders in the village of Gake.
その墓が今の玉丘古墳とのこと。
