Editing Philip IV of France (section)

==In fiction==
[[Dante Alighieri]] often refers to Philip in ''[[La Divina Commedia]]'', never by name but as the "mal di Francia" (plague of France).<ref>{{cite book|author=Dante Alighieri|title=The Portable Dante|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jDC5TzskfkoC&pg=PA233|date=2003|publisher=Penguin Publishing Group|isbn=978-1-101-57382-2|pages=233}} Note 109</ref> It is possible that Dante hides further the person of the king behind 7 figures: Cerbero, Pluto, Filippo Argenti (''Philippe'' ''de l'argent''), Capaneo, Gerione, Nembrot, in the ''Inferno,'' and the Giant in the ''Purgatorio'' killed by the "515". These representations are centred around Capaneo, referring to the myth of the [[Seven against Thebes]], and are related to the [[The Beast (Revelation)|Beast from the Sea]] in the [[Book of Revelation|Revelation of St. John]], whose seventh head, like the Giant, is also killed. Such a scheme is related to the transposition of the Revelation in history, according to the ideas of [[Joachim of Fiore]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Lombardi |first=Giancarlo |title=L'Estetica Dantesca del Dualismo |publisher=Giuliano Ladolfi Editore |year=2022 |isbn=9788866446620 |edition=1st |location=Borgomanero, Novara, Italy |language=it}}</ref>

Philip is the title character in ''Le Roi de fer'' (1955), translated as ''The Iron King'', the first novel in ''[[Les Rois maudits]]'' (''The Accursed Kings''), a series of French [[historical novel]]s by [[Maurice Druon]].
