whistleblower 0 Posted October 5, 2012 I think Dante was talking about Lambert being in there with Judas when he wrote about the ninth and innermost circle of Hell"Together with Judas in this region of hell are others who, by betraying their masters or benefactors, committed crimes with great historical and societal consequences"I wouldnt pi*s on that guy if he was on fire in the street.Judecca, named after the apostle who betrayed Jesus (Judas Iscariot), is the innermost zone of the ninth and final circle of hell. The term also hints at a manifestation of Christian prejudice--which Dante certainly shares--against Judaism and Jews in the Middle Ages: it alludes to the names--Iudeca, Judaica--for the area within certain cities (e.g., Venice) where Jews were forced to live, apart from the Christian population. Together with Judas in this region of hell are others who, by betraying their masters or benefactors, committed crimes with great historical and societal consequences. Completely covered by the ice--like "straw in glass"--the shades are locked in various postures with no mobility or sound whatsoever (Inf. 34.10-15). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
