Inferno canti 14-20

Dante's view on homosexuality is disturbing. He seemed to view the Sodomites as violent against nature. Dante indirectly refers to homosexuality as violent against nature, "all fouled with the same sin of the world" (lines 107-8).

The description of Geryon implies to me that he is Jewish, and in Hell for fraud, with the rest of the usurers and moneylenders.
