@georgia @sathariel @lilli Read the whole Comedy if you do. The Inferno is the juicy part but it's important to understand the entire hierarchy.

Guenon saw the Comedy as part of the same tradition as the Vedas. I don't agree with him because the Divine Mountain pattern doesn't seem to exist outside Jewish/Christian mysticism but I understand why he does. For Dante, everyone is exactly where they intended to be in a way reminiscent of karma.
