△Legend of Miwayama.
The reason that it was revealed that these Ohotataneko was young of a god is as follows. The appearance was handsome for Ikutamayoribime mentioned above.
A very handsome youth visited suddenly in midnight to a house of Ikutamayoribime. They loved each other, was married and lived there together. The daughter became pregnant soon.
So her parents wondered at their daughter's becoming pregnant and interrogated their daughter as follows.
"Why did you become pregnant though it was one? Though there was not a husband, how did you become pregnant?"
Ikutamayoribime answered.
"It was an excellent man, and he did not know the name either, but he came every night and I was in houses together and became pregnant naturally."
Therefore the parents intended to know the identity of the man and tell their daughter as follows.
"You scatter red soil in front of a floor. And you put a linen thread through the needle, and prick the hem of his clothes."
The daughter did it as it was tell. Because it dawned, she saw it. The hemp thread which she attached a needle to got away from the hook hole of the door. The left thread was only three winding. Therefore the state that left the hook hole elucidated it. It arrived at Miwayama when It followed a trace with the help of a thread and stayed in the Shinto shrine of Ohkami.
Therefore they knew that Ohotataneko was Child of the god. Because the hemp thread was left only as for three, it refer there to Miwa. This OhotatanekonoMikoto is an ancestor of Miwanokimi Kamonokimi.
