Calling Sharkú . . . (Awakened Analogies #3)
 

Gandalf is to Volúspa (Song of the Sybill) as Guthlàf is to _______________ ???

Hehe, been a while since I visited the Quiz Room, but I couldn't resist such a summon.

I have to admit the name only rang a bell in regard to the song of the Mounds of Mundburg. But since it is Anglo-Saxon or Old English in origin, I figured it might be in Beowulf, so I searched my -- to my own shame, yet unread -- version of it and found it there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yep, I thought that was interesting, JRRT "borrowing" from Beowulf.

UNREAD ???!! You gotta read it, oh Age Impaired One. There's also an "audio book version" of the recent translation (Seamus Heaney I think the translator's name is). You can listen to Beowulf in the car !

It has been more than 7 days, so I guess I'll post one.

Beleg:Turin :: Elendil:______

Gil-galad?

Not quite. Think later in time.

Sauron?

Elrond?

Nope and nope. Have I made one too hard????

Hint: think of what they possesed.

Aragorn

Finally! Watcher in the Water has it.

Beleg first wielded the sword that Turin had reforged and wielded and also Elendil wielded Narsil that was later forged into Anduril, Aragorn's sword.

Ok - this could be slightly obscure...
