Dejanira direct translation

I was reading Inferno when they mentioned Dejanira in Canto 12 and I thought it would make an interesting blog post. Dejanira, intentionally or unintentionally depending on translation, killed Hercules by giving him a shirt soaked in the poisoned blood of the Centaur Nessus. If we look at her name and directly translate it, it mean “husband destroyer”. Now I don’t about you but I’m definitely naming one of my kids Dejanira because “husband destroyer” is a pretty rad name.
