Are you confusing Amrod and Amras, with Angrod and Aegnor?

Oops you're right SGH.

I just looked it up, in The Silmarillion Amrod and Amras were slain in the attack on Earendil's people at the Mouths of Sirion.

afro-elf, yes, that's true. That one died in the burning of the ships is a very late change on Tolkien's part, he wrote the 'strange and sinister tale'* during the last four years of his life. I imagine it wasn't implemented into The Silmarillion either because C. T. wasn't aware of it or because it was just too difficult to bring about.

I agree. If it wasn't for Feanor, there would be no story. afro-elf, you like Feanor as much as I do Thingol.

Well, I think there would be a story without Feanor - only a very different one. Exactly what the good Prof. might have come up with instead is of course futile speculation. No?

The Sil is a big tease. It gives such a good sample but it leaves you wanting so much more.

Yes it does, but that is what makes it a great read. Tell me, are you dis-satisfied? Why?

afro-elf · 01-02-2002, 06:12 PM

No not disappointed just hungry for more.

It would be great if some of those stories could be expounded upon like LOTR.

Have you read Unfinished Tales? That will give you a bit more. It elaborates on some of the stories in the Sil.
