| | Now Melian had much foresight after the manner of the Maiar and when the second age of the captivity of Melkor had passed she counselled Thingol that the peace of Arda would not last forever. | | | Here,and in all further acts of concealed assistence, Melian proves that she would not interfere with love and doom. | | | Obviously, Melian saw better the turn of doom and she let, or at least didn't stop, a Man enter the territory behind the Girdle. |

| | 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. | | | Melian fenced the entire dominion with her power, creating an invisible wall of shadow and bewilderment. | | | At the end of the second age of the captivity of Melkor in the Halls of Mandos, she perceived that the peace of the land would not last forever and therefore counseled Elu Thingol to build for himself a kingly stronghold that would resist any evil that may awaken in Middle-earth. |

| | 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. | | | The dialogue is an invention, and the only question is whether he has made it appropriate to the circumstances and fitting to the characters of the interlocutors, "keeping as closely as possible to the general sense of what was really said," according to his own profession in the proem to the history. | | | The Athenians sneeringly remark that the magistrates are evidently afraid of their deluding the people with seductive arguments; they accept, however, the proposal of a conference, in which the Melians are to criticize and reply to each statement as it is made. |

| | 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. | | | I prefer to think that Melian assumed an Elvish-compatible form as she fell in love with Thingol. | | | So she 'chose' to be bound to that form, but had appeared in that form prior to Thingol coming upon her. |

| | Melian Dialogue |
| | But we trust that the gods will give us equally good fortune, because we who are in the right stand against you who are in the wrong. | | | Thucydides as well as Euripides was much influenced by certain sophists who opposed "self-interest" to "right" and "convention" (or "custom" or "law") to "what is natural." Like these sophists the Athenians in the Melian debate argue that conventional morality is a fiction, self-interest determines policy, and the strong naturally exercise power over the weak. | | | Perhaps for two main reasons: First, it offered him an opportunity to dramatize the insolent and overbearing attitude of the Athenians, especially on the eve of their disastrous expedition to Sicily; read with that in mind, the Melian debate takes on a grim irony indeed. |
