oh nvm was thinking of george rr martin
still, surprised jrr said that

The gape, Sanza

taking the degenerate barbaric civilisations of greece and rome and making them virtuous and wholesome is what christianity is all about, CS Lewis was in the right here

Not really. Satyrs are always horny fucks in the myths.

Really hypocritical of Mr. Christianizing Beowulf to say that

>>212182169 (OP)
It was banter, you retard. Tolkien and Lewis were drinking buddies in Oxford.

>>212182248
He thought Santa Claus showing up was dumb too.
He and Lewis were very good friends but they did spend a lot of time trying to out autism each other.
I've heard that Tolkien based Treebeard on Lewis but that's not quite the loving tribute moms om Facebook seem to thing it is.
>I am on nobodies side, because nobodies on my side
Lewis was nominally Anglican, but in actuality embraced a more universalist version of Christianity; which probably annoyed the militant Catholic Tolkien
>Takes a long time to say anything
A fun little dig at a fellow lecturer, although contemporaries found Lewis to be a much more interesting speaker.
>Forgot what women look like
Lewis was a lifelong bachelor and only got married late in life.

That happened way before Tolkien, like 1,000 years.

Why would Lucy do that to Mr. Tumnus?

>>212182169 (OP)
Tolkien was just salty that his attempts to convert his friend resulted in him becoming a fedora-tipping Protestant

>>212182169 (OP)
We need a more faithful adaptation then.

Which mythos did tolkien plagiarise satyrs from?

>>212183138
>plagiarise

>>212182169 (OP)
what's the big deal? he's not wrong

>>212183138
Are there even satyrs in LOTR? Anyways, satyrs are from greek myth.

>>212182169 (OP)
>a faun-that is, a satyr-
They're two different beings though?
A satyr would definitely be into rape
A faun would probably just avoid her

>>212183138
Tolkien and Lewis were possessed of a medieval mindset.
Plagiarism wasn't a thing pre copyright laws, so people would just re write the Aeneid over and over again.
