Lotr desu. The amount Tolkien took indirect influences from Kalevala and Finnish mythology is so astounding it's just funny.

The sons Húrin is literally just a rebrand of the Story of Kullervo from kalevala.

>yfw tolkien literally ripped the silmarillion scene with the guy, after getting revenge for the death of his family and slaying the entire tribe of his enemy, talks to his sword and asks the sword if the sword wants to taste the blood of this man/killer as well and the sword replies enthusiastically "yes, gladly!" straight from kalevala
>he was probably going to change or remove it but then he died
silmarillion was never meant to be published as is
