'Lovers' doesn't necessarily have to have a sexual connotation. I was using it in the sense of those who loved her.

What is interesting is that Galadriel herself creates objects--as davem has mentioned--who was her "muse"?

Well, she does tell Frodo that the Eye of Sauron that he saw 'is also in my mind.' It seems that all she does is inspired by Sauron - maybe he was her 'muse' in that she would have done little creatively without him. I think it was Lyta on a different thread who questioned the necessity of evil in Middle-earth....
