Maybe this page should be merged into Inferno (Dante)? Radagast3 (talk) 01:59, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. This article is quite well written and stands up well as a subject on it's own. --Kurtle (talk) 23:36, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

did Dante's Satan influence Milton's in the sense of both being 'sympathetically' treated? I don't know enough to comment. --86.168.25.9 (talk) 11:48, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It says in this article that sinners in the 9th circle remaine unnamed. But in the main Wiki article on Dante's Inferno, it names a number of sinners in the 9th circle. Eg Mordred. 86.137.192.164 (talk) 12:40, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Satan[edit]

The english translation of the inferno i read used the name Dis (who is also Pluto the greco-roman god of the underworld) and not Satan. Dante re-interpreted many mythological figures; giving them a christian spin and put them in his Inferno. So even though Dante's Dis represents and was inspired by Lucifer and Satan he didn't actualy call him by that name in his poem.

Are you sure you remember this correctly? Because from what I know, Dante used the name "Dis" for a city in Hell. You know, the city that is filled with graves on fire, burning the sinners in them. Read more here. --Luka1184 (talk) 10:27, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked. It seems like Vergil called Satan "Dis" to identify him with his domain, the city of Dis. He did however use the words "Ecco Ditte" to be exact, which means "This is Dis". Other names used for Satan includes Pluto, which is the name for the Greek god of the underworld, and coincidentially "Dis" also stems from Greek mythology, as it was another name for Pluto. Satan is also refered to as "Belzebub" in the poem, I believe. --Luka1184 (talk) 10:37, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My Mantra is I do know that I do not know ( plus: I do not reconsider )[edit]

Hammelburg 1989 highscore with an M42 (? check ( x ) Invented antitelephone in 1997 ( near a quarry, as in BTF3 ) ? check ( x ) what then? Every Blockbuster movie, known computer games since whenever before? It isn´t that the basic joke? Kriegsspiel. I knew in advance how it´d end up. Some call me Satan, some call me Ex3,14: I´ve been here before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A0A:A540:C0A:0:25D8:AD83:A59F:4D60 (talk) 23:07, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
