Penguin Issues Books That Inspired Tolkien

[Pyan]

I have read Master of Middle-earth and I cannot recall any mention of a link between Oswald and Aragorn, although it is twenty odd years ago since I last read it. .

Your memory is entirely accurate, svalbard. As I keep all my JRRT-related books together and close, I did a quick re-read of the chapter in question...

I'm sure that somewhere in the the last 50-odd years of reading about the oeuvre, I picked up the idea that the main source of Aragorn was actually Odysseus, rather than the rest of the Northern characters.
