I must write an epic tale (in the style of Homer and Virgil) on any character of my choice, and I tought of Frodo Baggins, since I love The lord of the Rings. Any ideas how to make this hobbit more epic?

You just want to talk about the eagles dont you?
Fine. What if the Eagles had just taken them to Sauron?
Joshua Peterson
Well, maybe, the eagles could be considered an epic element, since they are supernatural beings, but if they take the hero directly to his goal, I think it diminishes the heroic values of the protagonist, wouldn't you say?

Make him limp. Explore his character and find a flaw, that'll make him limp. Like, for example, how he died a virgin despite spending a lot of time in Rivendell with all them sexy elvesses.
Samuel Collins
Yeah, the fact is, in the story, he is limp/flawed because he clearly failed his quest, and the ring would not have been destroyed without Gollum's intervention. Anyway, I want to do the contrary, I plan to make him more heroic than he is in the story (plus he doesn't take part in the wars!)

My desire to know more is increasing.
I think there was an Oedipal interpretation of the Galadriel thing. A childlike character offering a ring to a tall woman, who would become very bad if she accepted.

Oh, that is quite interesting, I never heard of such psychoanalytic/freudian point of view of The Lord of the Rings!
