Richard Wagner drew heavily on northern European mythology, including sources used by J.R.R. Tolkien in his Lord of the Rings. Wagner's epic Opera cycle "The Ring of the Nibelung" is based on Norse mythology and features characters and themes similar to those found in Tolkien's work.

Why Norse mythology called Norse mythology?

Norse mythology is called so because it originates from the ancient Norse people, primarily the Scandinavians, who inhabited regions like Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland. The term "Norse" refers to the culture and language of these northern Germanic tribes. This mythology encompasses the gods, goddesses, and legendary tales that shaped their worldview and religious beliefs, reflecting their understanding of life, death, and the cosmos.
