Am I just now realizing, two Cantos later, after looking up who the "Queen of everlasting lamentation" refers to (Persephone, duh, who else could it possibly be..), that the Pluto we met earlier is Hades, THE HADES (husband/kidnapper to Persephone).

I can't for the life of me internalize the roman names.
