'These two kinsfolk (Feanor and Galadriel), the greatest of the Eldar of Valinor,* were unfriends for ever.'
*Who together with the greatest of all the Eldar, Luthien Tinuviel, daughter of Elu Thingol, are the chief matter of the legends and histories of the Elves.
Does Tolkien mean that the Eldar of Valinor and Luthien are the chief matter of the legends of the Eldar or that the two greatest Eldar of Valinor, Feanor and Galadriel, and Luthien are the chief matter in the histories?
