Quotes
Tolkien
Tolkien held a belief that there was a connection between languages and mythologies throughout his career. In 'A Secret Vice', he observed that 'for perfect construction of an art-language it is found necessary to construct at least in outline a mythology concomitant', and that the construction of a language 'will breed a mythology'.

And heart the greater, as our might grows less'

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.

Seamus Heaney'in Beowulf çevirisinden:
the old dawn-scorching serpent's den
packed with goblets and vessels from the past,
tarnished and corroding. Rusty helmets
all eaten away.
