I've been reading Dante's Inferno for the first time.  I admit, I had already read the science fiction version, and found it passable.  But I'd never taken the full plunge.
I think Dante's Comedy, like Milton's Paradise Lost, could easily have made it into the Bible - if they hadn't started locking the Bible down around 300 A.D.
Dante and Milton, your poetry's great.
But - get in the Bible?  Sorry.  Too late!
