Beowulf
Many features of Bilbo's adventures in The Hobbit, such as his title 'thief', the episodes with the stolen cup, the path under the mountain, leading into the dragon's layer, Smaug's personality, his rage and the destruction of a nearby town, are all examples of plot elements which appear in Beowulf.

Tolkien's use of these elements, however, can hardly be described as 'borrowing'. It is more similar to a dialogue or even a commentary on some of the most difficult aspects of Beowulf, such as the fragmentary nature of the story about the thief and the stolen cup.
