0353 » The Fall of Númenor Pt 28 » Tar-Atanamir » Envying the Valar

In this episode, we consider the reign of Tar-Atanamir, the 13th ruler of Númenor.
We learn here that Atanamir was given the epithet “The Great”. Yet we also learn that he was given another - “The Unwilling”.
I have to admit, it’s not entirely clear to me why Tar-Atanamir deserved to be called “The Great”, though I will explore that issue in this episode.
And we will certainly discuss why he was called “The Unwilling.”
At the end of the day, one thing is for certain: Atanamir’s reign was of major consequence for the people of Númenor, as his long for immortality began to sow the seeds of discontent, restlessness, and malice toward the Eldar, the Valar, and ultimately Ilúvatar Himself.
