Namo
Mandos
Námo Mandos is a fictional character from
J. R. R. Tolkien's
Middle-earth.Mandos is the usual name for the
Vala originally called Námo (Judge). Námo was given this new name in honour of the Halls of Mandos, over which he presides, where
Elves go after they are slain. His wife is
Vairë the Weaver, and he is the brother of
Lórien and
Nienna in the mind of
Eru Ilúvatar.Mandos is described as being stern and dispassionate and never forgetting a thing. He was the Vala who cursed the
Noldor leaving
Aman, and counselled against allowing them to return (almost to the point of vindictiveness). But unlike
Morgoth, his Dooms are not cruel or vindictive by his own design. They are simply the will of Eru, and he will not speak them unless he is commanded to do so by
Manwë. Only once has he been moved to pity, when
Lúthien sang of the grief she and her lover
Beren had experienced in
Beleriand. Then, with the Elder King's approval, he released them. Written later in Tolkien's life, there arose the possibility that
Glorfindel, as well, was given second life after being slain by a
balrog. It has been postulated that he was sent back to
Middle-earth as a means to fight
Sauron, just as the five
Istari were. The event of Mandos being moved to pity by Lúthien singing of the grief she and her lover had been moved to in Beleriand, is similar to the legend of
Orpheus and
Eurydice, which partly inspired the story of Beren and Lúthien.

Mandos
Mandos è un personaggio immaginario dei romanzi
fantasy di
J.R.R. Tolkien.Mandos è il nome con cui era conosciuto il
Vala il cui vero nome era Námo (Giudice). Námo preferiva attribuirsi questo nome in onore delle Aule di Mandos (o Aule d'Attesa), da lui presiedute, dove gli spiriti degli
Elfi vagavano dopo essere stati uccisi (un tema ripreso dal nordico
Valhalla), in attesa di rinascere. Gli spiriti degli
Uomini, invece, vi soggiornavano per poco, poi andavano oltre
Eä, probabilmente nel
paradiso di
Ilúvatar; anche i
Nani si recavano lì, prima di reincarnarsi nei loro discendenti. La sua sposa è
Vairë la Tessitrice, mentre è fratello di
Lórien e
Nienna nella mente di
Ilúvatar.
