Purple Monkey has just left Hobbiton.
Pipe Which Myths and Stories influenced LotR?

I think that the Irish myths are very Elf-like, especially Tir Na n'Og. Tir na n'Og would the be the equivilent of Elvenhome, I suppose; ie, it's across the Sea, land of the ever-young(the immortal), land of the brave, the beautiful. What do you think? There's obvious Greek and Norse mythological influences, but what exactly?
