Idril Celebrindal (Silverfoot) and the character in greek mythology, Thetis of the Silver Feet. Coincedence? There are a few similarities.

Thetis was a sea nymph, or Nereid, who appears in many of the Greek Myths and legends, the most prominently in the story of the Trojan War (The Illiad). Some basic facts are she is a Achilles' mother and married to a mortal, Peleus.

Similarities betwenn Idril and Thetis:
Both immortal married to mortals
Both have a close connecton to the sea
Getting picky, both have powerful or royal fathers
And the obvious; the name Silver foot or feet.
Anybody else see this?
