Ancient World

Episode 28 - The Good Rulers, and the bigger themes of One source and the many - in Unity. Canto XX.


Listen Later

In the episode we learn about six important historical figures, as examples of the Just Rulers! King David, Emperor Trajan, King Hezekiah, Emperor Constantine, King William II, and the Trojan Hero Ripheus.

Dante is with this also uniting two Jewish Kings, two Christians, and two Pagans from the Jewish, Greek and Roman traditions into a unity of Good Rule.

Canto twenty is the last one from the three "active lives" spheres of Knowledge, Warriors, and Rulers - which lead to the next sphere of Saturn, with the Contemplatives.

Thanks for listening,

and enjoy!
