Sinopsis

In this lecture, we (a) conclude the Circle of Heresy (6) by talking about the Guelf leader Cavalcante di Cavalcanti, (b) observe the nasty smell of Lower Hell and take a moment to consider the structure of the final three circles (7, 8, 9); and then (c) we enter the first of three sub-circles of Violence and witness the abominable minotaur, centaurs, and harpies and the boiling river of blood: Phlegethon. We cover cantos 10-12 in this lecture. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
