I personally think Turin Turambar is the greatest man who ever lived. What do you guys all think? And if he isn't why, and who do you think is greater?

Turin? A cursed man who wrecked ruin apon all that he loved? A valiant, brave, and smart man; but cursed by Melko.
Personally I believe that Beren would be the greatest Man that I have encountered yet. A man who went into the depths of Melko's lair and retrieved a Silmaril. Proved himself and took the hand of Luthien, only Man to see Valinor. What more can I say. Hail Beren!

Totally off topic, but when you sit there and watch Ilúvatar's and Isthir - RifCoral's pic things, it goes together so well. It's all orange-y like

Yes Turin is a very interesting character, but I slightly dislike him because he killed Beleg the Great. I've always liked Beleg... Though I guess it isn't Turin's fault...

He diddle dee Greatest man ? Well Turin did get his sister pregnant...so not him. For me it's Elros...ok so he's half eleven, but given the choice , he became mortal. His sacrafice enriched the blood of the men of the west. Had he not , ages later Sauron would have no contest.

Tuor would be good. Beren was not the only man to see Valinor. Isthir-u sound like u read the Lost Tales and preferred its info over the Silmarillion's. No offense.

Hmm, I've never really thought about who might be the greatest. They're all great in their own ways. But about him, The Tale of Turin Turambar is my favorite tale. He was brave and certainly had a strong will.
