Cirdan
Greg H.

Yes, Rachael, you are certainly right that Cirdan is the eldest elf (in middle earth!). I completely overlooked him. However, I believe that Galadriel is the most powerful elf. She was the only one of the four you mentioned that had actually been to Aman and seen the light of the two trees. Cirdan is definatly the oldest, and Galadriel and Celeborn are probebly about the same age, Elrond is much younger than all the others. I wonder if Elrond gained his great power and wisdom from close association with a Silmaril when he was young?
