In Dante’s Divine Comedy, it’s the first sin that leads into Hell and the last to be purged in Purgatory.

I freely admit to not being well read in classical literature. Is there any reason to believe that Dante's works contain revelations of some kind?

Just now I glanced at Wikipedia: "At this deeper level, Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially Thomistic philosophy and the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas.[7] Consequently, the Divine Comedy has been called "the Summa in verse".[8]

Interesting about Dante.

Myself, I am in the 99^th percentile, humility-wise, and only wish this fact were more widely acknowledged.
