Comparative mythology - comparative storytelling. The former leads to the latter?
Yeah. . .
We've got magic horns and magic rings. Staves and swords. All the mystical magical macguffins MC Protagonist might acquire.
The One Ring - cursed, and grants you the power of invisibility -- all but from the flaming (allergy season is hell in mordor) eye of Sauron.
But what rings are there from our world (myth or real) that are similar?
Silchester (Hampshire) England that has ten facets and is graven with the image of Venus. The ring was discovered at a Roman site in England and later a Roman plaque was discovered with an inscription dedicated to the god Nodens and the inscription is a curse as well as detailing the loss of the ring - the god having lost it. A lost ring from a powerful being with a curse.
But we also have the the Ring of Gyges -- a ring --
Enter the Ring of Silvianus - ring from 4th century CE-- that allows the wearer to turn invisible. The story goes that a shepherd found the ring in a cave on the corpse of a creature larger than a man (it's implied its humanoid), and the ring adjusted to his size, and when worn and fiddled with - adjusted - (maybe turned - translations be translations) it...turns you invisible.
The Ring of the Nibelung (1876) - composed of four parts from german/norse epics -- this is the story of a magical gold ring that gives the wearer the power to rule the world!
Horn of Valere - wheel of time
Horn of Eld - dark tower
Did they take it from each other? Or...just stories?
WoT has an important mythic figure, Artur Hawking, a king arthur analog. The Dark Tower has Artur Eld or of Eld (eld is the archaic word for old so Artur of old)
Arthurian inspired stories or cognates include the famous Song of Roland (poem) from the matter of france or Carolingian cycle - a french legendary material similar (cognate) to the british arthurian - you can see the influence of that all through dark tower btw quite literally with names, roles, descent, and orders being named/used.
Anyways...both given tropes/beats were likely inspired by the song of roland as well as the silver horn many might forget about in LotR-- because it's in the books but cut from the movies. But Elrohir, one of Elrond's sons, gives Aragorn a silver horn with which to summon the army of the dead he's owed fealty from.
Magic horns summoning the dead, rallying armies, all that? Old as time. Cuz we love our war and we love our horns. HEHEH big magic horn go BRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOM and...summon the dead?
I feel like tumblr might appreciate seeing the most cursed item I own. Here it is when I found it in the leaf litter while hiking in January of 2019.
A demon, cursed to be bound to whomever wears the ring they were trapped in, has to turn into whatever the master wishes. Whomever wears it will be sought after by those seeking power. Fast forward to this happy-go-lucky human who gets too overly excited by the demon and doesn't listen past the transformation bit and just keeps yelling animals, objects, and celebrities to change into. Eventually, they become a great team, and the human falls in love... and decides to try and break the curse
I would read/watch that forever!!!
