Dante out here name dropping left and right

Oh, so Virgil died before Jesus did. Weird

Who is the maid Camilla?

The Aeneid! Which I have yet to read...

Wait, didn't Virgil write the thing that many people hold to be a good follow up to the Odyssey?

Mantua is located between Milan and Venice, just south of Verona

This is part of Mustich's 1000 (as separate books based on the three parts); the first part, Inferno, is on the A Well Educated Mind's list, and it's also part of the Great Books of the Western World list. Excited to take this journey

Pre-read: I know, I know, I'm currently reading way too many books! But the classics book club I joined a few days ago is starting The Divine Comedy in August, so I figured I best read along with them or else I might never read it.
