I read the INFERNO in university—I often wonder about the curriculum that had us read THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, CITY OF GOD, THEORY OF THE LEISURE CLASS, WEALTH OF NATIONS, and this, THE INFERNO. I liked the poem very much, especially seeing Lucifer frozen in ice, not burning in fire (but I liked all the reading in our mandatory History of Western Civilization class).
I never read the Aeneid, but I know that it linked the surly Romans to a more noble Trojan ancestry. Another mythical ideology that intrigues me (somewhat) is the Banderite Ukrainian mythos that they are descended from Vikings and are thus Aryan, not Slav. Do they have a poem articulating their Descendancy?

One book that might interest you, Tedder, is "Marx's Inferno: The Political Theory of Capital
Book" by William Clare Roberts.
Too expensive!
When that happens to me, I pirate the .epub files and read them on my phone
