In this lecture, we (a) begin with a lesson in Italian negation and consider the "negating" aspect of self-harm from Canto 13, Circle 7.2; (b) we observe the pagan Capaneus from The Seven Against Thebes and observe the non-Christian nature of blasphemy, as opposed to Heresy (Circle 6); and (c) we consider the Old Man of Thebes and what his five substances (gold, silver, brass, iron, clay) represent politically and theologically/psychologically. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
