Time is in short supply these days. I will get back about 'the other', but for the time being here are a few links about the analysis of myth.

The first is to a site which considers the role of hero using Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces. I'll be back with a further link.

The monomyth

Secondly, here is a link to an abridged curriculum vita for Veralyn Flieger, who Davem has mentioned. It lists many of her research papers on Tolkien as well as her books. This site also has links to other sites dealing with Tolkien and mythology. Flieger is in the Department of Comparative Mythology at the University of Maryland.

Prof. Vlieger's bio
