Relative Powers

[Lalaith]

Instead of ignoring the superior gender, when they make posts, elempi, as boys are so often wont to do...(post #102, to be precise)....

Here's that quote again, this time in full...:

'Galadriel was the greatest of the Noldor, except Feanor maybe, though she was wiser than he, and her wisdom increased with the long years. (...) These two kinsfolk [Feanor and Galadriel], the greatest of the Eldar of Valinor, were unfriends for ever.'

Nothing about the Third Age, there...

Ah, thanks for the reminder. I consider myself answered, thou most superior of the inferior gender.

EDIT: But it occurs to me that Lúthien never made it to Valinor (except for the Halls of Mandos which don't exactly count), so cannot be considered as one "of Valinor". Therefore, I take the liberty of leaving her at a superior position to Galadriel. I recall now that my original reason for holding her as above even Fëanor, was that she was born of the union of Thingol, one of the three Eldest of the Eldar, and of Melian the Maiar. Being half-Maiar places her above any other Eldar, seems to me.

EDIT: I've just read narfforc's excellent post, and am all the more convinced regarding Lúthien.
