Manage episode 246556521 series 2138169
In this lecture, we (a) considered examples of zeal, the slothful penitents, and examples of sloth; (b) we examined the second dream in Purgatory, the dream of the Siren, and its (1) allegorical significance and (2) prefiguration of the final three terraces of Purgatory; (c) we conclude by meeting Statius, the Roman epic-poet who converted to Christianity (according to Dante), caused the "mountain-quake", and is our new guide alongside Virgil.
**Note: I erroneously call Pope Nicholas III from Inferno 19 Pope Innocent.
