The Third Terrace Of Purgatory Proper: A Read-Through Of PURGATORIO, Canto XV, Line 85, Through Canto XVII, Line 72

Published on: 4th August, 2024

We've now come to the third terrace of Purgatory proper, the ledge of wrath (or anger).

Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we read through the passages that make up this terrace, starting back at PURGATORIO, Canto XV, line 85 (through parts of Canto XV we've already covered) and on to PURGATORIO, Canto XVII, line 72.

[01:53] My rough English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XV, line 85 through Canto XVII, line 72. This translation is not found on my website. Rather, just sit back and listen to its sweep before we begin to take it apart.

About the Podcast

Walking With Dante
A passage-by-passage stroll through Dante’s DIVINE COMEDY with Mark Scarbrough
Ever wanted to read Dante's Divine Comedy? Come along with us! We're not lost in the scholarly weeds. (Mostly.) We're strolling through the greatest work (to date) of Western literature. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I take on this masterpiece passage by passage. I'll give you my rough English translation, show you some of the interpretive knots in the lines, let you in on the 700 years of commentary, and connect Dante's work to our modern world. The pilgrim comes awake in a dark wood, then walks across the known universe. New episodes every Sunday and Wednesday.
