Garr I forgot to reply.
I agree with you, that these things worked as an inspiration and that he did not just take and copy. Then I would find the whole thing way less interesting, but I do like to compare the inspiration to the characters where I see their traits. . . I know they are not the same, but I do enjoy comparing them.
In the hobbit we have the Ravens like Roäc that can talk with men and are their allies, they help them by delivering news and such. Odin has two talking ravens as well Huggin and Munnin that brings him news from around the world.
I am now wondering, is this something we find in other mythologies, talking and message bringing ravens ?
I would very much like to know.
