ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE
The epic story written by Dante Alighieri ponified and translated to a simpler form for younger viewers. Watch as Twilight Sparkle traverses the deep depths of Pony Hell overcoming all matters of evil. Discord, Nightmare Moon, Manticores, Hyrdras, Cockatrices!
(DEAR CELESTIA NOT THE COCKATRICE)
Disclaimer: I in no way believe this is anywhere on par with The Divine Comedy and is merely my show of affection for Dante's Inferno. I've been asked to add that these conversations are written with my own words, these are not direct translations from Dante's Inferno. While much of my creative process directly ties into the three translations I own, a lot of conversation is merely an old-fashion dialect I recreated. (Except for the first and last stanzas in each Cantos) I assure you these are my own words, and are not any sort of plagiary. For those expecting the religious context intact I sadly did not keep it in for reasons of pony universe. The broader scope is there, but no catholic church bashing my friends.
Classical literature ponified?
Twilight approves!
GOD DAMMIT I WAS WRITING ALMOST THE SAME STORY! Well played
I have to say, I'm interested
tracked.
Having read this in its entirety, I have to express mixed feelings. This was very well written, derived in Dante's style and utilizing all the right themes thus far. You also captured Twilight very well, I thought, and how she would react to all of this. That being said, the first canto could have used a little more explanation. I felt a bit confused as to why it was necessary for Luna to lead her through Hell. In the original work, the journey served to show Dante what would become of him if he continued along that Path. Now, perhaps you were trying for something different, perhaps at this point you dont really care. Ive personally found only a few of these stories, none ofthem finished, and thought that you earned a bit of constructive criticism. I encourage you to persue this story, as it has the makings to be something great.
Huh, considering its in game crossovers, I thought it would be the game. But still, nonetheless awesome. Now you should Ty your hoof at Paradise Lost!
One question I'd like to ask before reading, if you would. Are you planning to do Purgatorio and Paradiso as well, or just Inferno? I ask because your title includes "The Divine Comedy" which refers to Dante's trilogy of stories and not just Inferno.
Will Twilight be badass in this story?

It's Dante's Inferno, not a James Bond film
