Hey x, so i was reading up on lot lore, and started noticing the way in which Sauron acts and is portrayed (vaguely) in the books reminds me of antiquated depictions of Saturn not only mythologically but also as him being a king. In the golden bough there is a passage describing how ancient greeks had legends of Kronos being a benevolent king and fair but over time got corrupted and people started sacrificing humans to him and Shit. On top of that, Melkor and Morgoth being depicted as somewhat Giant (melkor more so) and becoming more and more power-hungry and evil reminded me of the fallen angels in the Book of Enoch, as well as the creatures in tolkien's lore that they spawned. And elves in Scandinavian lore are mostly invisible now and in other European lore they live in a parallel world to us. In Tolkien's works, the elves that refused to leave Middle Earth slowly turned into bitter wraiths. And knowing Tolkien was serious about the stories being based on older legend and real life happenings, what are some other texts, stories and events are readily pointed to when finding parallels to his works and characters? Occult, mythological, religious, etc.?
