I've enjoyed this unit so far and I'm looking to see the rest of Dante's journey. His interpretations have been interesting and I'm expecting more of the same.
Jason and the Demons: I found it interesting how Dante incorporated mythology into what mainly seems to be a Christianized story. I really liked the exchange that Virgil had with the demons. It was cool to see the demons have some actually dialogue because I feel they are often depicted as mindless evil doers. I hope the story goes into more detail about the hierarchy of demons in Hell.

Satan: I loved the author's description of seeing Lucifer. It was such a striking image. The imagery reminded me of the book of Revelation. There are so many different ways to interpret the symbols. I also liked the Judas was depicted in this story. I think he's an interesting character to explore. In this story it wasn't going too well for him in Hell with Satan.

Hello, again, Blake,
I only really have peripheral knowledge about Dante. My first thought was of that demon-human hybrid from the video game series "Devil May Cry." (Which, I don’t want to talk about because that last game was just. Ugh. No.)
I have another video game that follows Dante Inferno (well, follows-ish) that I haven’t finished yet – I think I stopped at some point where there was a wall of dead babies, I’m not sure. It’s been a while. Maybe I’ll finish that during Christmas Break.
Take it easy!
