Greetings all, and welcome to the Mythology board! I have recently embarked on an adventure through early Mesopotamian mythology, and intend to keep exploring more cultures moving forward through history. With that in mind, this space is meant to be a fun and open community for people to chat about their favorite mythologies, share what they have learned, ask questions, and hopefully we can all learn and experience the magic, myths, and legends from the many cultures that came before us.

That’s something I want to write a thread about at some point, to discuss the overlap with Tolkien’s writing among other things.

Indeed. I learned Japanese (language and writing) for that reason. I've got Tolkien's translation of Beowolf on my bedsite table, actually! Coming up soon!
