A "Complete Silmarillion" in Spanish

[gondowe]

Hello, Findegil

This discussion can serve you for preparation when you arrive at the Tale of Aredhel and Eöl and Maeglin.

I am sure that, if ever we came to the story of Maeglin, Eöl will give us a hard nut to crack.

I only can say that its my opinion too, but (I think that) the return to the Teleri side was later and in this case must be done.

That Thingol is of a born genaration and not one of the awoken 144 is asured by him having a 2 brethern. Therefore we would not need Eöl to make that clear.

In this matter I had adopted a diplomatical attitude. I still think what wrote in earlier posts and will not say again, but in the text I don´t identify in any case imin, Tata and Enel with Ingwë, Finwë and Elwë, the only manifiest alussion is that of the lammas that Ingwë war the fisrt to awake, the reader will extract his proper conclusions.

Greetings.
