 * No excessive detail, good use of plot summarization.

 * Extremely stable.

 * Change murdered lovers whose story was contemporary with, and well-known in, Dante's time. to murdered lovers whose story was contemporary with (and well-known) in Dante's time.
 * Thanks for taking a look at this. I've amended the links as you mention and reworded the sentence in the lead--as it's just a summary of the body I opted to trim it rather than introduce bracketed asides for the sake of clarity, let know me if that's alright. Changes can be seen here. As to expanding the background--I will take another look for some more material discussing the depiction of Minos but what level of detail do you feel should be devoted to Homer? My inclination would be just to provide a brief gloss as to who he was and what he wrote without going into any real detail, as he's usually considered less influential on the Commedia than Virgil's Aeneids are, but if you feel like more is warranted I can go further. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 15:28, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
