Who was the greatest Elf? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Two things:
1. You forgot to mention Gildor in your list, which I find quite upsetting [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
2. If there is something like 'the greatest elf' it would certainly be Ingwe, leader of the Vanyar and High-King of the Elves in Aman. The man (i.e. elf) went to Aman when the summons came and never left. All we know about the elves on Aman is in the period before the Exile of the Noldor. Imagine what 3 Ages (instead of one, which is the case for most of the Elves we know of) in close proximity to the Valar in the Undying Lands can do to you.
So I say Ingwe, definitely.
