I started reading The Divine Comedy a few days ago and love it so far! I’m currently on Canto 34.
I didn’t do any kind of background reseach, so I was just really shocked at how much greek mythology was mixed in there. I saw a few names from Roman mythology as well, but I don’t know nearly as much about it as I do Greek mythology.
I can’t help but wonder why he included figures from mythology, though.
