Re: where

Just where exactly do you both think the Ainulindalé is based on Norse mythology? Because as far as I know the Ainulindale and ME in general are quite distinct from the more... hmm, simple, rough and down-to-earth myths and creation myths of the Germanic and Norse people.

(Kirlian Camera, 'Ascension') </h6></p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000003>Sharku</A> at: 2/8/01 1:05:03 pm
