I decided to get this thread going again....what do you think it would have been like to have been married to Eol? I was just thinking that when I was reading the Sil.

Uh, is Legolas a man of the Silmarillion? J/k! No, I'm not doing that Legolas thing again.

IMO, Eöl's problem was that he didn't love Aredhel. I think he only desired her, and wanted to possess her.
But even if he had married his 'true love', I think he may have been difficult to live with. Always in the dark, shunning daylight.

I think it was natural for the Elves' bodies to feel lust, in the same way as hunger, thirst, weariness and so on. But compared to Men they had much more control over these feelings through their spirits.
Also I'm not sure it was lust, or lust only that made Eöl take Aredhel to his home. He thought her fair, so maybe he just wanted to possess her as a valuable gem at his hand. Or he may have known or guessed who she was, and thought it a sweet revenge to 'steal' the sister of a mighty Noldorin king. As we know, he had little love for the Noldor.

I've heard some people say that he raped Aredhel, but the way I remembered it, he seduced her. Which is right?

In the published Sil, Eöl used 'magic' to lead Aredhel to his house, but after that she stayed, at least partly willing.

Just a statement to any confused by Artanis's statement: Legolas of FoG and the Fellowship aren't the same person. Well it is 99.9999999999999999 per cent certain they weren't.

I will need to check the first post, but I thought this thread was about Men, not Elves. |

Ah, yes. I just read it. And of course, you started out exclaiming your love for Finrod (my boyfriend/fiance). But all is forgiven, SGH. And I gave you the FF that posts on the Moot as a consolation prize.
Does that remind you of the good old times? LOL! |
