In order to understand tragedy as a key to grasping a group of literary archetypes, a study is made of the Greek origins of tragedy, as well as specific analyses of plays by the three classical playwrights whose works have survived to the present day. Next, in order to establish literature as an artistic phenomenon that includes peculiarities from different perspectives of the tragic, the context of creation and relevant works of British and German tragedy are also analyzed so that we can understand how British writer J. R. R. Tolkien's method of literary creation is based on the creation of a mythology that never existed, and to this end, the author uses myths and other medieval sources for his fictional making. To illustrate Tolkien's process of tragic creation, the Finnish tragic hero Kullervo is recalled, and only then will we go into an in-depth analysis of the creation of Túrin Turambar, the protagonist and tragic hero of "The Children of Húrin", a manifestation of the archetype of the tragic hero, who has a legacy dating back to Oedipus.
