Melampus - Seer who cared for snakes whose mother had died. Melampus awoke to find them licking his ears and thereby gained the ability to understand the language of animals and insects.
On a side note, IMO after watching DOS this weekend the thought occurred that Thranduil really is just STUNNING, looks and performance-wise. Another genius casting in the roll call of genius casting. (And OK, like RA another actor w. great skin. Which IMO is important if you are going to be having these gorgeous closeups.)
Of course, maddeningly there aren't enough images of Thranduil (from my perspective there aren't enough of the mountain king, either, but gotta admit the Thorin Thralls are better off in that regard  ). I don't know if these were posted before, but in looking for Thranduil material these are a couple of favorites - not my work! The red image is credited to Olga5 on Deviant Art for the bigger version (love this artist) and I don't know who did the collage, but I love the mystical drawing of Thranduil that came from a book cover - truly elven, truly other-worldly. IMO Thranduil is THE elf.
"Richard Armitage’s performance has been one of the best things about the new trilogy, making you believe that a hairy dwarf, so often the comedy element of the LOTR films, can be a heroic, tortured, and dangerous badass." - Den of Geek, The Hobbit: There & Back Again, 7 Apr 2014 - 07:07
