I think Voronwe is right. When Eol was killed he cirsed his on sayin that he would die just the same as he did. Maybe his houseless spirit came an took control over his old sword hoping that somehow he would be able to betray the hand that weilds it and kill Maeglin.. Unfortunatly for Eol the sword never got around to killing Maeglin. But Eol's curse did work... Eol was cast from a precipice as puishment for killing Aredhel and in the fall of Gondolin, Maeglin was cast from the walls of Gondolin by Tuor who came to save Idril and Earendil his wife and son, from Maeglin who had since been in Angband and betrayed Gondolin to Morgoth. So Maeglin died the same as his father and the sword still talks...i dunno.
