The Nature and Role of the Ocean in the Medieval Imagination

The medieval sea was marvelous for ordinary medieval farmers. For explorers, the ocean with its church and education is a dangerous place. In the early days of the Greeks, the sea began to attract people. Titan first dominated the earth, and the seas of Uranus and Gaia's son were one of them. "[He] [Honor] Homer respects the essence of everything, even the existence of God, and regards him as a powerful god as Zeus." He is the father of all the rivers and lakes in the world.

I believe the imagination of the Middle Ages is a land where women living in monsters, giants and warriors are strange in crossing the sea. Europeans also dream of the seven cities known for their great wealth. After Columbus discovered America, explorers attacked the hemisphere to find wealth. Caribbean colonies are disappointing, but Mexican Aztec treasure regains the Spanish expectations. In 1536, the adventure of African slaves, AlvarNíonez Cabezade Vaca and Esteban, made the Spaniards north. In 1528, these people landed in Florida and became a treasure trove of destiny. The Indians massacred the majority of their party and the survivors experienced an incredible trip along the Gulf and the northern part of Mexico before meeting expeditions in Spain. In Mexico City they tell the story of the golden city of India, Esteban returns north with FreMarcos de Niza to find Cóbola

As a poet, Dante puts himself in the center of intellectual discussion of his own time and basically redefines their composition. In this book, Mazzotta stands in his cultural crisis and department, and in his work provides it a powerful new reading for and against the poet. In Dante's own insight's critical gesture, Mazda's practice is also a new contribution to theory of literature.

As a characteristic of Dante's way of working, this "black wood" is a product of the poet's imagination and may be based on various traditional ideas. Including: Medieval Platonic chaotic problem as a primitive tree (Silva) - Including: unformed, unnamed - including: Virgil (Aneid 6.179) Entrance of the classic underworld (Hades) Forest, Augustine's spiritual The mistake (sin) is related to "various areas" (confession 7.10), and the dangerous forest of the medieval romantic wandering Order of the Kings must liberate themselves. In the early work (Convivio 4.24.12), Dante imagined a fascinating period of adolescence - people need guidance to avoid losing a "good way" as a kind of "erronea selva" I am doing it
