Tolkien’s first prose translation and one of the earliest inspirations for his universe was the Kullervo cycle of the Finnish Kalevala, a story about a magical hero who swears revenge against his uncle for killing his father (cf Amleth/Hamlet) and commits suicide after killing his uncle and then discovering his having been in an incestuous relationship with his sister (cf Sigmund). His retelling of Kullervo was the direct inspiration for Túrin Turambar and his father Húrin (cf Sigurd), his sister Niënor (cf Signy), and even Huan the wolfhound (cf Musti). You don’t know anything about these texts, or any texts, least of all Tolkien’s, you are an adult man wearing the skinsuit of a woman who peddled a fake onlyfans for X doots and a tedious retard and frankly the fact that anyone continues to take seriously the slop you constantly vomit onto the timeline is a source of increasing consternation for everyone
