Dante Demon Demons Dores Folk Lore Lair Winged
Dores - The Winged Demon in His Icy Lair
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and enigmatic image that transports us to the depths of mythological folklore, specifically Dante Alighieri's Inferno from his epic poem, The Divine Comedy. This historical print, from the vast collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the chilling and otherworldly presence of the demon Dores, also known as the "Lamia of the Ice," who guards the frozen lake Cocytus in the ninth circle of Hell. The demon is depicted as a winged figure, his body adorned with icy scales, claws sharp as frozen shards, and piercing, icy blue eyes that seem to pierce through the very soul. His wings, spread wide, appear as frozen feathers, encrusted with ice and snow, creating an ethereal and otherworldly contrast against the dark, inky background. The scene is set in a desolate, icy lair, with the frozen lake Cocytus stretching out in the background, its surface still and unbroken, save for the ripples caused by the demon's presence. The air is thick with an otherworldly chill, and the only sound is the distant, mournful wails of the damned souls trapped in the ice. This image is a testament to the rich and varied history of demons and their depictions in mythology and folklore. The demon Dores, with his icy lair, is a chilling reminder of the punishments meted out in the depths of Hell, as described in Dante's Inferno. The print, with its intricate details and haunting atmosphere, invites us to explore the depths of our imagination and delve into the rich tapestry of mythological folklore. Whether used as a conversation piece, a decorative addition to a study or library, or a source of inspiration for artistic endeavors, this print is sure to captivate and intrigue all who behold it.
