The present article aims to make a small survey on the mythical references in the construction and narrative body of the best known fantastic works of the English author J. R. R. Tolkien. The Silmarillion contains tales that strongly address the mythology sub-created by him, in a range of references from various societies and epics of yesteryear. It has the genesis of Middle-earth and the establishment of the peoples that constitute it, thus becoming the mythical history of Arda. The mentions of this book are present as historical tales passed down from generation to generation in the author's other narratives, such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Under this mythical aspect of his narratives we use, as well as authors who study Tolkien, the mythologist Joseph Campbell.
