Abstract

The myth of Prince Samudra has at least colored the land of Java for more than 7 centuries. However, since the end of the Java War, this myth has received a new meaning that is far from the beginning. In fact, until now this myth is widely believed by pilgrims as the basis for carrying out the pesugihan ritual. Prince Samudra is a preacher who is very diligent in studying religion, both from Sunan Kalijaga and Ki Ageng Gugur. This means it is very unlikely that later, Pangeran Samudra taught the pesugihan ritual by having sexual relations with his illegitimate partner seven times, namely every Pon Friday night. Thus, it is necessary to trace back the changes in the storyline of the myth so that the cause of the occurrence can be answered. This is important because the image of the Pendhem Village area, Sumberlawang District, Regency has already been labeled as a black area with the smell of sexual pilgrimage tourism. In addition, the local government of Sragen Regency has also committed to changing the negative image of tourism in the area. This is done either through physical development in the form of infrastructure improvements as well as improvements in the fields of education, society, and culture.
