Devil's Inferno (Siren Publishing Allure)

Product Information

In the third circle, the gluttonous wallow in a vile, putrid slush produced by a ceaseless, foul, icy rain – "a great storm of putrefaction" [46] – as punishment for subjecting their reason to a voracious appetite. Cerberus (described as " il gran vermo", literally "the great worm", line 22), the monstrous three-headed beast of Hell, ravenously guards the gluttons lying in the freezing mire, mauling and flaying them with his claws as they howl like dogs. Virgil obtains safe passage past the monster by filling its three mouths with mud. Dorothy L. Sayers writes that "the surrender to sin which began with mutual indulgence leads by an imperceptible degradation to solitary self-indulgence". [47] The gluttons grovel in the mud by themselves, sightless and heedless of their neighbors, symbolizing the cold, selfish, and empty sensuality of their lives. [47] Just as lust has revealed its true nature in the winds of the previous circle, here the slush reveals the true nature of sensuality – which includes not only overindulgence in food and drink, but also other kinds of addiction.

John Yueh-Han Yieh, One Teacher: Jesus' Teaching Role in Matthew's Gospel Report (Walter de Gruyter, 2005) p. 65; Robert Walter Funk, The acts of Jesus: the search for the authentic deeds of Jesus (Harper San Francisco, 1998) pp. 129–270. The canto opens with a description of Dante’s amazement at the extraordinary nature of the signal adopted by the devils for communication – the fart (recall the end of Canto XXI). The military references with which the canto opens are meant to evoke the battle of Campaldino, in which the Florentines – Dante amongst them – had defeated the army from Arezzo. This reference is no mere coincidence, especially if related to the reference which had been made in Canto XXI (lines 94–96) to the Florentine assault on the castle of Caprona, in which Dante also took part. These reminders of Dante’s contribution to the success of two important Florentine military campaigns could be seen as a subtle way for Dante to counter the accusations of treachery toward the city which had been laid against him (in the accusations which led to Dante’s exile, Dante was, amongst other things, accused of being a barrator.)

Russky here in the hosting hot seat. You may have seen that I ran a very unscientific poll yesterday on the forum to find out who most of you Devil fans wanted us to play today in the final. Note how some of the narrative detail may be seen to reflect the nature of the sin of hypocrisy. For example, line 72 may be seen to suggest that when talking to a hypocrite one can actually never be sure of the true intentions of the person one is talking to. The portrayal of the friars in lines 76–93 also suggests this. The eagerness of the friars to meet Dante is counterbalanced by an emphasis on their ‘private’ assessment of the situation prior to their actual conversation with the Florentine pilgrim. After finishing Speak of the Devil, an additional miscellaneous objective to access the Devil's terminal in Mass Pike Tunnel, found on the console behind the X-02 power armor, will be added. Accessing the "A humble request" option will lead to another objective to either shut down the radio transmission or to restore the Enclave Radio station. Thats it from me. Thanks to our texters today, Phil Egan and KettDevil. Also thanks to all our texters over the years. We couldnt have done it without you. Also thanks to Chris and James for keeping us running. i think the refs called the scorer wrong cos Andrew Lord just said in post game interview that Morrisette scored the ENGOther experts disagree. "The goat, which until the Middle Ages was barely linked to demonology, assumed a new role [around this time]." Montesano said. "According to some scholars, this new role comes mainly from its association with Nordic myths. Others say it might derive from the pagan god Pan, while British historian Ronald Hutton thinks it has more to do with neo-pagan revival of modern — not Medieval — times." When the day of Pentecost had come, they [the apostles] were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability." Dante’s Inferno continues to ignite curiosity as well as questions for modern readers. As Dante imagines life after death, he also imagines the cruel punishments inflicted on sinners. In Dante’s hell, the most severe sinners are left to languish in the deepest pits. Throughout their journey into hell’s deepest recesses, Dante and Virgil witness the intense suffering of souls. Human bodies are pushed to their mental and physical breaking points. On the evening of Good Friday, Dante hesitates as he follows Virgil; Virgil explains that he has been sent by Beatrice, the symbol of Divine Love. Beatrice had been moved to aid Dante by the Virgin Mary (symbolic of compassion) and Saint Lucia (symbolic of illuminating Grace). Rachel, symbolic of the contemplative life, also appears in the heavenly scene recounted by Virgil. The two of them then begin their journey to the underworld.

When Dante responds "In weeping and in grieving, accursed spirit, may you long remain," [57] Virgil blesses him with words used to describe Christ himself ( Luke 11:27). Literally, this reflects the fact that souls in Hell are eternally fixed in the state they have chosen, but allegorically, it reflects Dante's beginning awareness of his own sin.

The punishment of immersion was not typically ascribed in Dante's age to the violent, but the Visio attaches it to those who facere praelia et homicidia et rapinas pro cupiditate terrena ("make battle and murder and rapine because of worldly cupidity"). Theodore Silverstein (1936), "Inferno, XII, 100–126, and the Visio Karoli Crassi," Modern Language Notes, 51:7, 449–452, and Theodore Silverstein (1939), "The Throne of the Emperor Henry in Dante's Paradise and the Mediaeval Conception of Christian Kingship," Harvard Theological Review, 32:2, 115–129, suggests that Dante's interest in contemporary politics would have attracted him to a piece like the Visio. Its popularity assures that Dante would have had access to it. Jacques Le Goff, Goldhammer, Arthur, tr. (1986), The Birth of Purgatory (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, ISBN 0-226-47083-0), states definitively that ("we know [that]") Dante read it.
