hello, patrons! we're back with the second episode in our book club series on The Inferno by Dante Alighieri. this time, we delve into Hell itself as we discuss the cosmology and layout of Dante's Hell and cover the first 5 cantos. This takes us from the scary forest where Dante is rescued by Virgil through the gates of Hell and and the First Circle before finishing down in the Second Circle.
We've also included a few maps of Dante's Hell for you to review when you aren't driving a car:
map 1 is a detailed layout of Hell in English
map 2 shows the cosmology of Dante's afterlife, from heaven down to Hell
map 3 is Michelangelo Caetani's version
map 4 is Sandro's Botticelli's version
