questions about story of Luthien and Beren and Tolkien's ideas

I'm writing a paper for a british literature class about where tolkien drew ideas from and came across this quote that he found before he wrote lord of the rings: - Hail Earendel brightest of angels, over Middle Earth sent to men...could this be realted to Myar or the story ofLuthien and Beren in any way? I'm a bit stuck, so any thoughts on it are greatly appriciated.
