In The Divine Comedy, Virgil leads Dante through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. The poet attains true superhero status in The Life of Virgil, which chronicles all of his fabled exploits. The romance has some resemblance to the The Arabian Nights, and includes outlandish accounts of Virgil’s liaisons with a Sultan’s daughter and his founding of a school of magic in Naples.
