    Divina Commedia ("The Divine Comedy") by Dante Alighieri.

    It is broken into three parts, The Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. The most common one is The Inferno which a lot of high school students have to read. It was one of the first epic poems written in the vernacular, the language of the common people instead of the scholarly languages. So it was written in Italian instead of Latin and made available to a much wider audience because of this.

    Also, Paradise Lost by John Milton is quite good.
