epic poem BeowulfUpworthy
•J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings was inspired by the secret meaning he found in Beowolf
49% Informative
Tolkien studied the epic poem Beowulf for 25 years because he was convinced it had a hidden meaning.
His unique perspective of the story's true meaning led to the creation of his own masterpiece, the Lord of the Rings .
Tolkien incorporated the use of alliteration (i.e. repetition of the same letter of sound) in his books.
Even the most innovative, forward thinking creators glean their ideas from other creators.
No new idea is truly a product of immaculate conception.
Classic stories remain timeless because they contain bits of wisdom that continue to serve humanity.
So go forth, read a lot (especially the old stuff), and breathe new life into their messages.
