Voici un extrait issu de l'excellent The Reader's Companion paru il y a peu (p. 157) :
Wayne G. Hammond & Christina Scull a écrit :160, n. (I:172, n.). Elves (and Hobbits) always refer to the Sun as She. - Tolkien represents the Sun and the Moon as female and male, the reverse of the genders depicted in Greek and Roman mythology. In The 'Silmarillion' the Sun formed from the fruit of Laurelin was guided by the maiden Arien, also a Maia.Je crois que c'est clair.
