Dante's The Divine Comedy 2019/2020 Lecture 29: Paradiso's Sphere of Mercury: Cantos 5-7
Manage episode 249992787 series 2138169
In this lecture, we consider (a) the second sphere of Paradise: Mercury and make several connections between the number six (6th century emperor, 6th cantos in each canticle, 6th book of Virgil's "Aeneid"); (b) we observe the speech of Justinian and the mythological and factual history of Rome from Aeneas to the Caesars to Charlemagne and downward to contemporary Guelphs and Ghibellines; and (c) we conclude by having an emperor consider the humble individual: Romeo de Villenueve.
