Applicable to new users only. I’m not saying JRR Tolkien stole The Lord of the Rings, I’m just saying… he sure allowed himself to be inspired on all its key elements. But hey… there is no such thing as an original story, and, as you will see in the notes below, even all mythologies are inspired by older mythologies or history itself. Kudos to Tolkien for weaving all these elements into the amazing classic that is Lord of the Rings. Every great writer draws inspiration from somwehere, but by no means does that mean they are able to weave it into a captivating story — and for that Tolkien deserves all his flowers. So… I hope I managed to weave something captivating for you all, and gave you a little bit more background before you watch The Rings Of Power season 2. As for everything I couldn’t get to in the video… read on below. Notes: Alright, where do I even start? I know where I won’t start: I won’t get into the Christian influences, because that’s been done to hell and back. Pun intended. What’s more interesting is the Greek influence that is evident in the Lord of the Rings, more specifically the Ring of Gyges — a story that goes as follows: A shepherd discovers an ancient ring in a cave — a ring that gives him the ability to become inivisible, a power he then uses to seduce the queen with whom he murders her husband the king, to then become the new king himself. Was Tolkien inspired by this tale? We can’t know for sure, but I’m willing to say that the similarities are not a coincidence. Also… Tolkien wasn’t exactly one to admit his inspirations. For example he was extremely adamant that he was not inspired by Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, but… since Richard Wagner’s epic was all the hype at the time and heavily inspired by the inspirations I listed in this video… I’m willing to call Tolkien out on that. To be fair though… tales of a ring of power are as old as time itself and go back to the Indo-European mythologies that all other myths have their origin in. Tolkien was just… a master at weaving these various tales (and historical influences) into an amazing story. But… here is one more similarity, just for fun: Norse mythology famously ends with the fire demon Surtur destroying the Bifrost bridge with his fire sword. If that doesn’t remind you of Balrog and Gandalf’s battle on the bridge, then… I don’t know what to tell you. Of course, Tolkien denied that influence too, but… now you have enough information to dive deeper into these inspirations and make your own mind up. The scenes in the beginning are from ‘The Lord of the Rings — The Rings of Power’ and Peter Jackson’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’. The other scenes are from Vikings. Music by Epidemic Sounds.
