Philip brings on Augustine Mørk Jessen from Denmark to discuss the profound influence of Nordic sagas on J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth. The discussion explores the etymology of names, specific sagas like Beowulf and the Poetic Edda, and the depiction of strong female characters. Listeners will gain insights into how Tolkien wove ancient myths into his epic fantasy world, often drawing directly from Danish history and literature.
