Pardon given Man of the Old Hope! And happily too! Comparing Uranus to Eru was somewhat of an overstatement on my part. Eru merely reminds me of him. After all Iluvatar means allfather. Having read the Lost Tales recently(again)I thought because the way the Gods were so vividly portrayed. Ulmo, the Seagod, was a rival to Osse, in the same way that the Greek gods had rivals amongst each other.
