As for Glorfindel (and Aragorn) with the Nazgul, the Nazgul are only ghosts anyway. Why should a mighty Elf-lord be afraid of them? Aragorn himself was doing a pretty good job of fighting off those undead rogues! To compare the Nazgul with the Maiar (which was suggested if not explicitly set out) is laughable.


Mith, doesn't Tolkien say somewhere that Elrond's mixed ancestry (Elves and Men) makes him greater than other Elves and Men?

Well I think you are wrong so laugh away.....
The orcs only penetrated the edges of lorien - they would not have been able to enter it's heart.

Nazgul "are only ghosts " yeah right.. the witch king just says "boo"....

And I would say that becasue Galadriel had more inherent power it was more dangerous for her to use the ring...

As for Luthien ... well say what you like, Gally is just more interesting... blondes have more fun...........
