	TolkienWiki: Melian
		Melian is the name of a Maia who served both Vana and Este; she dwelt long in Lorien, tending the trees that flower in the gardens of Irmo, ere she came to Middle-earth.
		She was a kin before the World was made to Yavanna herself; and in that time when the Quendi awoke beside the waters of Cuivienen she departed from Valinor and came to the Hither lands, and there she filled the silence of ME before the dawn with her voice and the voices of her birds.
		Melian ruled as a Queen of the mightiest kingodm in ME. The history of Doriath itself and within the course of the major events in Beleriand the strong influence of Melian can be strongly traced and noticed from the very begininng to the very end.

	Melian
		Melian left Valinor and the gardens of Lórien and went to Middle-Earth where she filled the silence beneath the stars with her voice and the voices of her birds.
		Melian put forth her power and fenced Eglador with an unseen wall; the Girdle of Melian, and it was afterwards called Doriath the Guarded Kingdom; Land of the Girdle.
		Melian counseled Thingol to surrender the Silmaril to the sons of Fëanor but the words of the brothers were proud and threatening and Thingol was filled with anger and the more he saw upon the Silmaril the more he desired to keep it.

	Melian Dialogue
		MELIANS (88): It is natural and pardonable for men in a situation like ours to resort to many arguments and points of view, but, yes, this meeting does take place to discuss our survival; so let the discussion proceed along the lines you propose, if you prefer.
		MELIANS (100): Surely, then, it you run so great a risk to keep your empire, and your subjects to be rid of it, we who are still free would show great weakness and cowardice if we did not try everything rather than submit to slavery.
		MELIANS (106): But on these very grounds we feel most confident: out of their own self interest the Spartans will not wish to betray their colonists the Melians, since that would earn the distrust of their friends among the Greeks and help their enemies.

	The Melian Dialogue
		Melians: Surely then, if you and your subjects will brave all this risk, you to preserve your empire and they to be quit of it, how base and cowardly would it be in us, who retain our freedom, not to do and suffer anything rather than be your slaves.
		Melians: But we know that the fortune of war is sometimes impartial, and not always on the side of numbers, If we yield now, all is over; but if we fight, there is yet a hope that we may stand upright.
		Melians: We know only too well how hard the struggle must be against your power, and against fortune, if she does not mean to be impartial.

	The Melian Dialogue
		The Melians did not bring these ambassadors before the people, but told them to state the object of their mission to the magistrates and the governing class.
		But it is for this very reason that we now trust to their respect for expediency to prevent them from betraying the Melians, their colonists, for they would thereby lose the confidence of their friends in Greece, and help their enemies.
		The Melians showed no signs of yielding, and the Athenian generals at once opened hostilities, and drew a siege-wall around the Melians, dividing the labour among the different nations in their contingent.

		Thingol was considered lord by all the Elves of Beleriand and Melian lent a great part of her power and wisdom to him and peace reigned in Beleriand.
		So great was the power of Melian that none could penetrate the wall unless they had the favor of the King or had a power greater than that of Melian herself.
		The Girdle of Melian encompassed the forests of Neldoreth and Region.

		When Melian signed with his father's favorite team for $1.6 million at the age of 16, his bonus was the most ever paid to one of his countrymen.
		Melian was clearly a special guy, a teenaged jewel in the treasure chest of baseball's most lavish organization.
		By 2000, Melian's production hadn't yet caught up with his potential, but the latter was real enough that when the Cubs asked for him as part of a package for Sammy Sosa, the Yankees elected not to deal.

	Melian - Tolkien Gateway
		In Valinor, Melian dwelt in the gardens of Lórien, but she journeyed often to Middle-earth.
		At last, Melian and Thingol came forth from Nan Elmoth and founded the kingdom of Doriath, which Melian protected from the hosts of Morgoth through her powers.
		Melian and Thingol ruled in Doriath for many centuries, but when at last Thingol was slain by treacherous Dwarves, Melian departed from the halls of Menegroth and returned across the Great Sea to Valinor.

		Though Melian hasn't approached his considerable ceiling, it's still a bit puzzling as to why the Brewers would trade anyone with potential for a journeyman catcher.

	Melian Dialogue
		The envoys came with an offer that, if the Melians submitted and became part of the Athenian empire, their people and their possessions would not be harmed.
		The Melians argued that by the law of nations they had the right to remain neutral, and no nation had the right to attack without provocation.
		The Melians pointed out that it was to the interest of all states to respect the laws of nations: "you should not destroy what is our common protection, the privilege of being allowed in danger to invoke what is fair and right...."

		The Melians answer that they have nothing to say against the quiet interchange of explanations; (note 1) but, they add, the presence of the army shows plainly that the Athenians have come, not to argue, but to judge.
		I cannot believe that, while the Melians thought more of honour than of safety and were ready to endure the last extremity sooner than be driven to any unseemly action, the Athenians would charge with folly men who were making the very choice they had made themselves in the Persian invasion.
		We have already remarked that, as an incident in the Peloponnesian war, the Melian expedition was a trivial affair; the population of a small island was wiped out, and that was the end of it.

		This is why I have presumed that when Melian is described as having walked in Lorien, singing with the nightingales, I took this literally--in physicality she walked in Lorien, a real voice sang with the nightingales.
		Regarding Melian choosing her form for Thingol: The Maiar could assume various physical appearances, so perhaps Tolkien meant that Melian decided to stay with the physical manifestation in which she appeared to Elwe, as opposed to being free to change from one form to another, or to her formless fea.
		Melian alone of all those spirits assumed a bodily form, not only as a raiment but as a permanent habitation in form and powers like to the bodies of the Elves.

		So Melian became the first and only of the Ainur to wed one of the Children of Ilúvatar, and together Thingol (as Elwë; became known) and Melian founded a kingdom among the forests in the heart of Beleriand, and ruled it as King and Queen.
		They were beaten back, but only at great cost, and so Melian put out her power to protect her country.
		Melian in despair departed for her ancient home in the West of the World, and the Girdle that had protected Doriath was removed.

	The Melian Dialogue
		The Melians are a colony of Lacedaemon that would not submit to the Athenians like the other islanders, and at first remained neutral and took no part in the struggle, but afterwards upon the Athenians using violence and plundering their territory, assumed an attitude of open hostility.
		The Athenian envoys now returned to the army; and the Melians showing no signs of yielding, the generals at once betook themselves to hostilities, and drew a line of circumvallation round the Melians, dividing the work among the different states.
		Meanwhile the Melians attacked by night and took the part of the Athenian lines over against the market, and killed some of the men, and brought in corn and all else that they could find useful to them, and so returned and kept quiet, while the Athenians took measures to keep better guard in future.

		The Melians explained their unwillingness to surrender in terms of the need for a people to defend their integrity, irrespective of the consequences.
		Many of the ideas expressed in the Melian debate are similar to current debates about the relations between nations.
		Instead of bringing these envoys before the people, the Melians desired them to explain their errand to the magistrates and to the dominant class.

		<Melian> Chris was so deeply steeped in his father's lore, I don't think it simply was the cash that drove him to publish the unpublished writings....
		<Melian> In the case of the unpublished writings of JRR Tolkien, this might seem at first sight the proper course; since he himself, peculiarly critical and exacting of his own work, would not have dreamt of allowing even the more completed narratives in this book to appear without much further refinement.
		<Melian> Look at the hassles Chris faced..he says, "The Lost Tales never reached or even approached a form to which my father could have considered their publication before he abandoned them; they were experimental and provisional, and the tattered notebooks in which they were written were bundled away and left unlooked at in years past.
