Der Ring des Nibelungen
Richard Wagner (1874)

█ Obviously inspired Tolkien. Ring that
█ grants power, coveted by everyone, ca-
█ pable of turning the wearer invisible,
█ first stolen by short people, then by
█ giants, holder calls himself "the Lord
█ of the Ring", a broken magic sword to
█ be reforged, etc. Incestuous marriage
█ between twins came unexpectedly. Not
█ sure why Valhalla had to fall and what
█ its fall implied. Cultural bedrock.
