is there a quote on Eonwe being the mightiest maia? i remember his being "the mightiest in arms" of any upon the earth, which is stinking awesome, but perhaps his power wasnt the best for other things, like the mop up after the battle. He might have been really good at slaying an enemy with a sword, but perhaps his "sixth sense" for seeking out evil wasnt the greatest.

But altogether, you cant say it was his fault. There were alot of mighty maia there, but none of them could dig out the hidden depths of Morgoth's fortress, or change Sauron's true nature by will alone.
