Virgil's Underworld



Here is an interesting website on Virgil's hell.

In this book how do you read DIDO? What's the tone associated with her description?
How do you interpret the different types of dead? The unburied, the suicides, those who committed crimes, the Titans, and the blessed? How do you interpret the idea of reincarnation? What ideas does it reinforce.

Go here to hear Virgi's latin original.
