I think we should take hybrids into account here. It is not fair that pure elves would be measured against elves who are half Maia. I accept that Luthien is the greatest of all the Eldar. For you people saying she only ever did one great thing, that is not a good argument. She never went out looking to do heroic things. She did it for her love of Beren. It is the same with Ingwe. He hasn't really done anything heroic, yet he is revered by all elves. That is because he is great. What you do doesn't make you great, you just are and that will show when you are put in the position to do great things. I have always like Luthien. She bested Melkor by herself and did it all for love.

But I come back to my original point. Pure elves shouldn't be measured against hybrids like Luthien. Yet she is considered one of the Eldar. Its unfair. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I have always like Glorfindel and Fingolfin best.
