Added 2024-04-02 10:20:31 +0000 UTCIn the latest of our posters of history series, Phoebe is joined by one of our history correspondents Eleanor Janega and her We're Not So Different Co-host Luke Waters to talk about Dante Alighieri, the pioneering Italian poet, writer, philosopher and poster. We talk about the historical context of 13th and 14th century Florence, posting yourself into exile, cultural innovation and the wisdom of immortalising your haters.

I literally have a meme in my phone right now where Dante is the smug wojak and says something to the effect of "That's a nice argument, but I drew this meme of myself as the chad and you as burning in hell."

Very much a “nice argument; unfortunately, I have portrayed you as a character called Mr. Idiot” move
