THE CELTIC AFTERLIFE AGAISNST DANTE’S HELL

Abstract

Celtic mythology, little known by the current society of the 21st century, due to the mysteries that surround it by the way its history was passed through the centuries, will be the subject of research in this work together with the universe created by Dante in the “Divine Comedy”, which unites elements of Christian mythology and Greek mythology for the construction of what we will call here Dantesque mythology, so in order to investigate and compare the representation of the concept of hell in both mythology and work, it will be used articles and research carried out within of the areas of Literature and History so that in this way it is possible to report the differences as well as the verisimilitude between the underworlds and their cosmologies.
