[QUOTE="public hermit, post: 74294041, member: 421854"] Yes, I remember that. Frightening! Another thing I remember is that the further down one goes in the [I]Inferno[/I], the colder and more solid things become, which is the opposite of what many assume about hell. Satan, if I recall, is virtually trapped in ice! On the other hand, the more you go up in the [I]Paradisio, [/I]the more ethereal or spirit-like things become. So hell is solid and heaven is spirit. Of course, all of Dante's considerations are informed by various philosophical influences, especially Aristotle (via Aquinas). Also, one of the things I really enjoyed was where he placed all his "friends" and "enemies." Everyone is placed in a circle the represents either their sins or their virtues. That's part of why[I] [/I]I need the footnotes, so that I can understand the context of his own time to which he is referring. [/QUOTE]
