Thank you! I didn't mean for the torture to be so detailed - initially I had a whole different idea for Maitimo, but I think Morgoth stole my pen and had some fun. I'm glad the form balances it out :) 

Thank you! And really, you thought of this too? That's so cool :) The idea came to me when I was rereading the start of the Odyssey and realised how well the Silm (and Maglor in particular being the tragic hero kind) would work with that form. I guess I could have made the poem longer but I'm far from being an expert... so maybe I would've ruined it. Who knows.

Thank you so much! I definitely agree! Mythological writing style aside, the tragic nature of many of Tolkien's heroes (not in the least the Feanorians) definitely has echoes of Greek tragedy :)

Thank you! :) I'm glad you liked those in particular! My personal favourite is Caranthir's, which is surprising because I struggled a lot over what to write for him. But I am quite fond of the Greek 'epic' style too :)
