| | Fall of Gondolin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A partial new version of "The Fall of Gondolin" was published in the Unfinished Tales under the title "Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin". | | | In the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, the "Fall of Gondolin" is the name of one of the original Lost Tales which formed the basis for a section in his later work, The Silmarillion. | | | Actually titled "Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin", this narrative shows a great expansion of the earlier tale. |

| | Morgoth's servants finally discovered Gondolin through the treachery of Maeglin, and it was sacked in I 510. | | | Turgon was lost in the Fall of the city, but some few (including Tuor and Idril, with their child Eärendil) escaped the destruction and dwelt as Exiles at the Mouths of Sirion. | | | The time was coming, though, when Morgoth would break the Siege of Angband, and the unstoppable doom of the Elves would fall upon them. |

| | These women were exceptionally beautiful "as fair as the sun and as lovely as the moon and brighter than the stars" according to BoLT 2 "Fall of Gondolin". | | | And yet again, Legolas may have been dropped from the Silmarillion in the same manner a huge host of other details were dropped, to fit into one book the notes that became the twelve volumes of Histories of Middle-earth and the Unfinished Tales. | | | Legolas of the Fellowship was probably taken by JRRT from an earlier idea of a keen-eyed Legolas Greenleaf who was a guide in Book of Lost Tales 2, an elf of Gondolin. |

| | But fairer than all the wonders of Gondolin was Idril, Turgon's daughter, she that was called Celebrindal, the Silver-foot, whose hair was as the gold of Laurelin before the coming of Melkor. | | | Yet to none were his [Maeglin's] eyes more often drawn than to Idril the King's daughter, who sat beside him; for she was as golden as the Vanyar, her mother's kindred, and she seemed to him as the sun from which all the King's hall drew its light. | | | But Turgon had become proud, and he refused to leave Gondolin. |

| | Infact the Iliad is comparable to Gondolin's fall through certain characters, mythological motifs, and plot. | | | First, Tuor, the mortal hero who finds Gondolin, can be seen as the blind poet's Achilles. | | | Then there is Tuor's wife, Idril, who can be seen as Helen even though she is married to the hero and not a Menalus-like character. |

| | For from his first days in Gondolin he had borne a grief, ever worsening, that robbed him of all joy: he loved the beauty of Idril and desired her, without hope. | | | They sought long for her in vain, fearing that she had been ensnared, or had drunk from the poisoned streams of that lands; but the fell creatures of Ungoliant that dwelt in the ravines were aroused and pursued them, and they hardly escaped with their lives. | | | F.A. Idril's disliking of Maeglin grew and her great power of piercing, further than even is the common of the Elves, with her thought the darkness of hearts of Man and Elves brought to her dark visions and fear of the future. |
