Applewhite posted:I bet the classical Hellenic cultures could probably grasp most of the concepts, but the style of storytelling and the themes are very different than the stories they tell. I feel like a story about the clash of mighty nations that didn't mention the gods even once would probably fall flat for them. The Valar are functionally gods. I'd plump for around when we get armies and cities and epics so ancient Sumeria or so.

Applewhite posted:The Valar are functionally gods yes but they're scarcely mentioned in connection with the events of the story. Hellenic stories had the gods directly involved in basically any major event. Frodo would have to be getting inspiration from Athena and poo poo every ten minutes. You've got Gandalf in that role, though.
