Summary
| Description |
English: The land of Ithilien in Tolkien's Middle-earth has Mediterranean and Classical connections. Its name suggests Italy. Its "dishevelled dryad loveliness" ties it to Classical Greek dryads (tree-nymphs). The named plants are Mediterranean species. The etymology of Terebinth and Hyacinth, ostensibly Greek, may be from Asia Minor with a pre-Greek "-nth-" element. |
