I thought most of the elves of mirkwood did not live in the cave at all.I thought most lived just outside,but in time of danger they would all go inside.Thran's cave was more of a sheltered fortress then a last homley house.And i belive legolas was born sometime before sauron came to mirkwood.Sometime before T.A 1000.

Actaully, Thran's hall were based on Menegoth which I believe were quite grand.

Legolas was merely joking with Gimli, probably in reference to their experience in the mines of Moria.

but, barrelrider, Legolas didn't want to go into Moria in the first place. If he didn't mid caves, he would at least have not cared. Unless........
MAYBE he knew about the Balrog.........

True Nariel, but the Mines of Moria had a reputation as a bad place. None of the company was eager to go except for Gimli.
With regard to Legolas's thoughts on the Glittering caves, consider the following excerpt from TTT: Quote:

I don't think Legolas HATED caves, he probably just didn't feel so nice around them. Besides he's a wood elf!

Maybe Legolas had claustrophobia- common affliction- he can't be all perfect can he? As for his age there's a bit in TTT (can't remember precisely- its either just before Fangorn or just before they meet the riders but I could be wrong- no access to the books at school) when he speaks to Gimli and Aragorn and says something about "since I have been travelling with you children again." which must indicate he is quite old for considering everything Aragorn and Gimli have done they must be quite old. I know Peter Jackson sees him as two thousand nine hundred and thirty one but I'm not sure. Is there any indication of Arwen's age anywhere (I can't remember one) because I see them being of a similar age the equivilant of human mid twenties. Mx

The Appendices to ROTK have her birtday at about the year 200 of the Third Age, which would make her 2,800-ish during LOTR.
Now I know you will be able to sleep better with that useful information. |

well i always thought Legolas' age is around 2000+. ah, that's just my opinion, no one cares anyway
[never thought Legolas age is around 500-, probably too young for an Elf to set out on a perilous journey]

Not specified. Wasn't Legolas's birthdate listed in the Appendix?

Probably- don't have the books to hand at the moment and there's so much information in them its hard to remember what's what! I wish they did a family tree for the Mirkwood elves. I have one for Galadriel and Elrond etc but nothing for Legolas' peeps. He must be related to Galadriel etc some way but I can't find how and its really frustrating. He's such a great character but there isn't much about him personally in the books- will read them all again to check that I've not missed anything though. Mx

Legolas is probably related to Galadriel maybe because his father was once a kinsman of Celeborn in Doriath and Galadriel is Celeborn's wife, so does that make any sense, huh huh???

Back to whether or not Legolas liked caves. I think he may have hated caves and have been one of the ones who lived in Mirkwood but not in the caves. He may have lived outside.
Sorry I can't find anything on Legolas's family, but then again I only looked very briefly.
