Well I knew all this, I juts wanted to add a thought thats all. And yes it is a coincidence. But I couldn't help but snicker a little when the hobbits were bowed to. <BR>And yes women in many cultures dressed up as men to fight. Eowyn actually reminds me of Freya: she is warrior like, yet beautiful (well in medieval terms anyway). Does anyone else feel Freya may have been an influence? After all Tolkien's works are Norse (and Celtic- can't forget that)influenced.
