Lúthien was a Telerin ( Sindarin) princess, the only child of Elu Thingol, king of Doriath, and his queen, Melian the Maia, making her half-royal, half-divine. The names Beren and Lúthien appear on the grave of Tolkien and his wife Edith. The story of Lúthien and Beren, immortal elf-maiden marrying a mortal man and choosing mortality for herself, is mirrored in Tolkien's The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen. Their story is told to Frodo by Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings.
It appears in The Silmarillion, the epic poem The Lay of Leithian, the Grey Annals section of The War of the Jewels, and in the texts collected in the 2017 book Beren and Lúthien. The complex tale of their love for each other and the quest they are forced to embark upon is a story of triumph against overwhelming odds but ending in tragedy.
Lúthien is an elf, daughter of the elf-king Thingol and goddess-like Melian.
