I guess the question comes down to - Do you feel Tolkien's Middle Earth qualifies as a mythos - and one on par with the others represented? Obviously it is a beautiful narrative and has created a complete history for itself and the cultures within it. But is there something lacking? I guess my stance in the debate reveals my personal thought here. But I'm curious what others think.

It's waaaaaay too manichean for me. All this Good-vs-Evil-war thing reminds me too much of Spinrad's Iron Dream.
