In this article, the mythological works of J.R.R.Tolkien are considered as sociocultural phenomena associated with value systems that existed in European culture. The author believes that myth represents social identity and retains this function even after it loses its ideological functions. Literary myths collect and convey the core values of humanity, which makes them successful. Tolkien combines traditional values with new value formations characteristic of the modern era, which makes him an excellent example of the literary embodiment of socially significant values. The article shows that the pagan basis, Christian values and worldview characteristic of the 20th century deeply penetrated into Tolkien's works. Tolkien's works organically combine the concepts of heroism, Christian mercy, democracy and the idea of freedom
