“The oldest and most enduring archetype of the fantasy genre involves the concept of the magician and the sorcerer. The magus is a man who has undertaken to learn and to teach others the secrets of magic, and if he is wise he will preserve these secrets so that the knowledge and the power they represent will not be lost. The magus is a teacher as well as a student.” – Joseph Campbell
J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring contains this passage:
“You know now that I am Gandalf,” said Gandalf. “I have returned. I have come back from exile.” He paused, and then went on in a lower voice: “ Aragorn son of Arathorn, Isildur’s heir, has returned from the dead.”
As Tolkien describes him, Isildur literally came back from the dead. He literally came back to life, literally resurrected.
Isildur was the oldest son of Elendil and heir to the throne of Gondor. During the War of the Last Alliance, Isildur cut the One Ring from Sauron's hand, but he refused to destroy it. Isildur was later killed by Orcs and the Ring was lost in the Disaster of the Gladden Fields for nearly 2,500 years. His refusal to destroy the Ring allowed Sauron's spirit to endure and ensured that he would remain a threat to Middle-earth for years to come.
