Having just finished a Classical Mythology class in college I thought I would pop into this thread.
As has been mentioned Turin is quite similar to Oedipus, though I do see some similarities between him and Achilles as well, Beren and Luthien are kind of similar to Orpheus and Eurydice, and some of the valar are similar to the Greek gods (for example Aule is like Hephaestus/Vulcan both being craftsman, and Ulmo is kind of like Poseidon/Neptune being the guy in charge of waters).
