Oh, yes, shades of Freshman English!!!

I made the same discovery when I was doing a paper on Tolkein's sources
for Freshman Comp.

The Lin Carter book was very helpful, some of my paper tended to be 
collaborative of the Carter book, rather than "original research",
but what can you expect from a Freshman?

I'll have to dig up this paper, and maybe post some of my "findings", but
if you are interested in Tolkein's sources, there are some strong 
similarities with Gilgamesh.  In fact, R. Silverberg has just published
his telling of this legend.

After I move, I'll list some more 'sources' from my paper.
