Description

 In this lecture we consider (a) the differing sounds emitted from Elysium (singing) and Tartatus (screams) and their connections to Dante's "Inferno"; (b) we meet Anchises again, in memory, and from his memory we learn of the future of Rome; and (c) we leave through the Gate of Ivory, the gate of false dreams, which has plagued interpreters of this poem for millennia.
