Odyssey to the Lord of the Rings The Lord of the Rings and Odyssey are two very weird stories in my opinion. The two stories include several similarities. The most noteworthy similarity of the two that were in common was the use of themes. Both included similar themes such as‚ life‚ death‚power‚ brotherly love‚ myth‚ temptation‚ and journey.

A world made by Tolkien‚ real enough to live not only in his mind‚ but also in ours. Middle Earth‚ a place ruled by elves‚ dwarves‚ and humans. A place where some
