This is a continuation thread. It is Odysseus's turn! <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

<font size="-2">'They have come!' he said. 'Take courage and look! There are fell things below.'</p>

Ody???

This is the ghost of Odysseus.

Try this:

Maeglin is to Idril and WHO is to Niniel?

Maeglin is a cousin to Idril as Tour is a cousin to Niniel? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

No, not Tuor.

New line of thinking: Brandir - he loved Niniel and couldn't have her like Maeglin loved Idril and couldn't have her ??? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Correct, Telchar -- unrequited love was the theme.

Oops, yeah I guess I did forget the Theme part. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Bingo is to Frodo as Bladorion is to________???

Ard Galen ! (Bingo and Bladorion were the original names of Ard galen and Frodo)

Very good Turambar - proceed [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Dior is to Celegorm as ________________ is to Fingon?

Gothmog

Yep, the Danish Dwarf gets it.

Easy one ...

Hurin is to Turgon as _______ is to Felagund

Barahir -- his rescuer from among Men.

Yes Go on Turambar [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Turambar?????

Sorry I lost the thread and I have trouble with these analogy questions. try this:

Luthien is to Beren as _____________ is to Maedhros.

Fingon - he rescued Maedhros from Morgoth, like Luthien rescued Beren from Sauron.

Exactly.

Fingolfin is to Finwe as ________ is to Thingol.

Dior ?

Luthien

Turambar got it - Dior was Thingol's heir to throne.

Fingolfin was not the Heir of Finwe! Fëanor was! Fingolfin was named HighKing of the Noldor after Fëanors death.
So the question should be Fingolfin is to Feanor as _______ is to Thingol - and if that had been the case I would have said Olve - and been wrong anyhow [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I think we need Tar Elenion and/or Michael Martinez to smack down the dwarf at this point. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Gil-galad is to spear as Tuor is to ________?

Telchar: You're right in that... I chose my words poorly. I actually meant that Fingolfin was the next High King after Finwe - even though Feanor led the Noldor in the rebelllion, he was never called the High King.

If I recall correctly Gil-galad used Aeglos, a spear, and Tuor used Dramborleg, an axe.

THAT IS OF COURSE RIGHT, ELENHIN.

Ok - I'll try to express myself clearer this time.

Ilmare is to Varda as ______ is to Manwe.

Eönwë, the Herald of Manwe .... In earlier myth both he and Ilmarë was considered the son and daughter of Varda and Manwë

Yep - Ilmare was the greatest of Varda's Maiar and Eonwe was the greatest of Manwe's Maiar.

Voronwe was to Tuor what _______ was to Frodo?

Voronwe met with Tuor at Vinyamar and guided him to Gondolin....perhaps Strider is the one you are looking for then?
He met Frodo at The Prancing Pony and guided him at least to Amon Sul....
however, this may not be the idea you were after [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] in which case, i'll keep digging [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

twinkle

Well there can be several answers - I was actually thinking of Smeagol as a guide - but Strider fits just as well [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] so please continue [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

thx telch [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

here goes a question courtesy of Art_R....
i couldn't come up with an analogy fast enough and seeing as i'm already receiving hatemail to continue [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] thx Art_R for your magnanimous help [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gwaihir is to Gandalf what ____ is to Frodo

twinkle

Either Landroval or Menelvor. The book isn't very clear as to which of them carried Frodo and which carried Sam.

Sam!

I - lol - have to add a lil something to that answer, so here goes: Gwaihir carried Gandalf! Either one of the beforenamed three eagles carried Frodo. But also Sam carried Frodo on mount Doom, Asfaloth to the Ford, Bill The Pony (some where I think) and Aragorn In Moria + The snow.
Gwaihir Rescues Gandalf from Orthanc! Sam rescues Frodo from The Tower of Cirith Ungol, Tom Bombadil from The Barrow!

Sam fits both, so thats my answer - good ol' Sam!!!
