The Fall of Númenor Pt 15 » Aldarion & Erendis » Uinen, Ossë, Tar-Meneldur (EP340 REVISITED)

Over the next 3 episodes in our Fall of Númenor series, we’ll return to the story of Aldarion, whom we met 2 episodes ago.   Aldarion is the son of Tar-Meneldur and the expectant heir to Númenor’s throne. But as we will learn, he is a man torn between a deep longing for the sea and his destiny as Númenor’s king.   We have in fact covered this story before, in great detail, in episodes 183, 185, 186, and 187. For a more detailed discussion of the story itself, I’ll refer you to to those episodes. Check the show notes for more info.  However, in this episode, I’d like to touch on some of the prevailing themes in this story that relate to the larger story of Númenor, and unpack some key passages from this chapter.WATCH ON YOUTUBE » https://youtu.be/9Fy-Wav5G08DISCUSSION EPISODES ON THE MARINER'S WIFE / ALDARION & ERENDIS:EP183: https://youtu.be/Ey76ckHwROEEP185: https://youtu.be/l83a6Idacg4EP186: https://youtu.be/NgcX2-QOmSIEP187: https://youtu.be/8HzR-raLIjc HELPFUL LINKSEpisode Webpage: https://www.tolkienroad.com/e0340take 10% OFF Tolkien Road merch at True Myths Press » https://truemythspress.com/discount/TENOFF (enter code TENOFF at checkout)listen to TOLKIEN’S WORKS for FREE » https://www.audibletrial.com/everonbuy Tolkien’s Requiem » https://tolkiensrequiem.com/buy Tolkien’s Overture » https://tolkiensoverture.com/read Tolkien's Tragedy » https://tolkienroad.substack.com/Ad-Free Audio » https://www.patreon.com/posts/85784138Ad-Free Video » https://www.patreon.com/posts/146598783Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
