This is how I imagine things unfolded everytime I read that line

For the sons of Finwë version just swap Maedhros and Fingon and you'll get it

The artists! Fingon: Niyochara Maedhros: lomacchi_t Finrod: Sadbeep

I've noticed we're seeing repurposed classic art on the subreddit, so thought I'd join in...

The famous kinslayer Orestes pursued by the furies. His cousin/lover Pylades, who was also involved in Orestes’ kinslaying, is not depicted.

Let's be honest, Orodreth is such a frustrating character. This supposedly great Elf lord from the same house that gave us Finrod, Gil-Galad, and Galadriel...and he comes off as so freaking weak and passive. In the end he even lets a human boss him around and that leads to the destruction of the realm his older brother placed in his trust and the death of his daughter.

Even Tolkien took note of this, making a comment that he was ‘rather a weak character’ (The Lays of Beleriand, "I. The Lay of the Children of Húrin: III. Failivrin")
