Their [Cycnus and his father Apollo] armour shone like a flame fire as they two stood in their car: their swift horses struck the earth and pawed it with their hoofs, and the dust rose like smoke about them, pounded by the chariot wheels and the horses' hoofs, while the well-made chariot and its rails rattled around them as the horses plunged.

Quote from The Shield of Heracles
This quote just stood out to me as I have just finished reading Tolkien's The Fall of Gondolin in which Tolkien had a portion where Mandos rode in his "car" to see Tuor. As this book was originally translated in 1924 and knowing that Tolkien was extremally enamored with mythology (mostly Norse and English but he was very familiar with Roman and Greed as well) if he came across this translation or if they just both just shared numerous common ancestors.
