Divine Comedy, Cary's Translation, Hell by Dante Alighieri
"Divine Comedy, Cary's Translation, Hell" by Dante Alighieri is an Italian narrative poem written between 1308 and 1321. This first part of the three-part epic follows Dante's harrowing journey through the nine circles of Hell, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. Lost in sin and unable to find salvation, the thirty-five-year-old pilgrim witnesses divine justice as souls receive punishments fitting their earthly transgressions. The work explores medieval Catholic theology while allegorically representing
the soul's recognition and rejection of sin. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
