This book is focused on proving the fact that characters from the
prose of John Ronald Reul Tolkien are based primarily on the
sources from old mythology, namely the Old Germanic literature as
Elder and Snorris Edda, the Old English epos Beowulf and other
Northern and Celtic myths and tales. Due to a large number of
characters, the work depicts only a group belonging to the evil
side. The first part discusses several wide spread opinions about
the possible sources for Tolkien's characters and tries to put the
facts into a clearer context. In the second part individual
characters are compared with their sources from mythology, common
features are shown and conclusions derived.
