Virgil burns (ta dum) poor ole Capaneus. Nothing like kicking a man when he's down (literally). Hollanders have "spiteful rantings" for dispetti; debiti caused problems with "fittingly" from the H's & "fitting" from Longfellow. Trecanni Dantesca offered debito/debere (Latin), dovuto "due".

Capaneus still boasting here rather like the Monty Python Black Knight shouting for the fight to continue though all his limbs have been severed. The Battle of Phlegra "place of burning") refers to the Gigantomachy, the legendary battle won by the Olympian gods & Hercules against the Giants.

Capaneus is a Giant that's bound to the burning sands of the Seventh Circle of the Inferno (of Dante) for Blasphemy (Violence against God) who screams of his hatred for the Almighty: Inf. Canto XIV

We're still here with the prideful Capaneus because I've slowed to a crawl on this project. My bad. Again, nothing complicated: se'=sei "you are"; martiro I assume is martirio though my fave translators go with "torment"; compito is past participle of compiere/compire "to complete". Enough said.

Virgil looking after Dante like a good travel guide. (The fate of Capaneus done & dusted.) Grammar: or[a]; ancor[a]; "your" is understood in"li", Trecanni Dantesca says is variante, ant. poet. for "gli" i.e."the" as well as "to them"; tien[i]; stretti is pl stretto with piedi not strettire 2nd pers.

Apparently Mongibello/Mt Etna erupts whenever Vulcan is in a rage over his wife Venus messing about. (What can you expect if you marry the goddess of love?) Ah those Greeks. Meanwhile Hollanders point out that Capaneus is the comedic 'braggart soldier' here as he was taken out with one bolt.

Whoa who is this. Defiant to the end. No wonder Hollanders have "hero" for quel grande. Makes you want to shout along with Blake, sickened by Christian hypocrisy, "I am of the Devil's party!" Quick peek at the notes says it's Capaneus, one of the 7 kings who besieged Thebes. More anon.

There's a point it stops being pride or ego and it becomes just straight up a deathwish

The Capaneus depicted in Inferno must be understood as exactly the defiant blasphemer he seems to be, not retroactively as a representation of blasphemous life as an ontological statement of living death.

In fact, Capaneus is rather explicit in his aim that, in continuing to curse God/Jove while in Hell, God/Jove will not have a "happy vengeance" from condemning Capaneus. So from this standpoint, Thacker's argument about Capaneus just doesn't stand.

But that means nothing. Capaneus either does not realise the futility of blasphemy in Dante's Inferno, or, in a somewhat heroic mindset, already knows and keeps going anyway. And if Capaneus will not be redeemed, if he is condemned for eternity, it would be more pointless for him to repent.

That is, in the sense that he is both alive and dead in Hell. The problem is that from his argument you could say the same about any soul in the Inferno. Thacker's problem is that he assumes Capaneus can't be talking about blasphemy because of the futility of his position.

Thacker, when describing Capaneus in Dante's Inferno, strives to interpret Capaneus statement "what I was, alive, I still am, dead" not as the affirmation of his blasphemous character it is but instead as a statement of himself as just "a living contradiction".
