What are some examples of the historical allusions used in Dante's Inferno?

Dante alludes to the feud between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, which dominated the politics of central Italy in Dante's time.

Explanation:

The Guelphs supported the Pope in a power struggle with the Holy Roman Empire. The Ghibellines supported the Holy Roman Empire against the Pope. Guelphs tended to come from the merchant or middle classes, while Ghibellines tended to be land-owning aristocrats.

In the Inferno, Mosca dei Lamberti is being punished in hell for, in Dante's opinion, having started the bitter and bloody feud between the Guelphs and Ghibellines. Mosca is in the ninth circle of hell, the place where the sowers of discord and the creators of papal schism are confined. Mosca must wander around until he encounters the devil, who repeatedly slashes off his arms. Mosca shares this space with another historical figure, Mohammed (or "Mohamet"), who supposedly sowed discord by founding Islam.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
