Nowadays, elves are often depicted as little creatures that help Santa deliver presents. Rather, they are depicted as creatures that burrow through the dirt and get nutrition from the soil. However, they do not play a craftsmen role in this series. The most recent novel that incorporates dwarves is the bestselling series Artemis Fowl. In The Lord of the Rings, the dwarves are also craftsmen most of the weapons in The Lord of the Rings were crafted by dwarves. They crafted Thor’s hammer, Mjollnir, the chain that bound Fenrir the Wolf, Gleipnir, Freyr’s magical ship, Skidbladnir, etc. In Norse mythology, dwarves are craftsmen. According to the site “Dwarves-North Mythology For Smart People”, dwarves were once called dvergr (Old Norse), dweorg (Old English), twerg (Old High German), and dwergaz (Proto-Germanic). And the giants’ influence doesn’t stop there they are also the main antagonists of the Percy Jackson (Titans) and Heroes of Olympus (Giants) series, both by Rick Riordan.ĭwarves originate from ancient Norse mythology. The Lord of the Rings is no exception all of the giants fight for Sauron, the main antagonist in the novel. Giants pretty much always play an antagonist role out of all the Titans and Giants, the only protagonists were Prometheus and Epimetheus. Polyphemus and the Titans were also giants. Each Olympian had a corresponding giant made to defeat it Porphyrion was made to defeat Zeus, Polybotes was made to defeat Poseidon, Alcyoneus was made to defeat Hades, etc. The “Gigantes,” Gaea’s (Mother Earth) offspring, were huge giants, even bigger than the Titans, that were birthed to overthrow the Olympians. They are basically just enlarged humanoids and originate from Greek mythology. You can both trace these creatures’ origins very far back in history, or look at how they have impacted modern-day novels.
These creatures include giants, dwarves, elves, orcs, and trolls. Many creatures from The Lord of the Rings come from Norse and Greek mythology and other ancient legends.
This legendary novel very deep roots in both the mythology of ancient times and the stories and books of modern days. The same is true with the magic from The Lord of the Rings. The truth is, the creatures from The Lord of the Rings, which include giants, dwarves, orcs, trolls, elves, have origins that can be traced back to the beginning of civilization and can also be followed into the world of modern-day novels. But what many people have not heard of is where the monsters and magic in it come from. Most people have heard of The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R Tolkien.
