Mythos & Logos

From Inferno to Paradise: Psychological Symbolism in Dante's Divine Comedy


Listen Later

The Divine Comedy is one of the most influential works in history, shaping much of modern Italian language and culture, and serving as the inspiration for countless other works. This is because Dante Alighieri's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven mirrors an internal journey that is taken by all. This look at all three books of the Divine Comedy, Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, will explore the psychological and spiritual symbolism in the structure of this masterpiece of the Renaissance.

Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”
