Lúthien was remembered in the Lay of Leithian as the first Elven woman to ever fall in love and marry a mortal man, who in her case was Beren, a man of the House of Bëor whom she met in the woods of Doriath. He himself soon came to love her jealously, though she would not return it. She often enjoyed dancing in the woods of the realm to the music of her good friend Daeron's flute. She was a woman of incomparable beauty and grace, with night-dark hair, sparkling grey eyes, luminous skin, and a clear heartbreakingly lovely voice that was said to cause winter to melt into spring - "the song of Lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed". Throughout the years before she met Beren, she lived as all the Elves of Doriath did: in a state of perfect blissful peace. Lúthien was the daughter of Elu Thingol, King of Doriath, and his Queen, Melian the Maia. Furthermore it was the model for The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, which is told in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings.Lúthien dancing in the woods, by Ted Nasmith Early years The latest version of the tale is told in prose form in one chapter of The Silmarillion and is recounted by Aragorn in The Fellowship of the Ring.
