When Dante Aligheri wrote his “Divina Commedia” he mixed many elements of Greco-Roman culture with Medieval Christian thought of his time. For those who do not know (and there should be no one in the West who is not familiar with him) Dante was a 13th-14th century poet from Florence who wrote one of history`s great masterpieces. The Divine Comedy was a set of three works, each dealing with a different aspect of the Christian afterlife.
