Inferno

In the year 1300, Inferno occurs on the eve of Good Friday. Dante Alighieri is currently wandering in the wilderness and pacing in anxiety. The legendary Roman poet Virgil, who has come to lead Dante back to his path, is encountered here. They enter the Ante-Inferno, an outpost of Hell where the spirits of those who in life could not choose between good and evil now have to pursue a blank banner.Dante's Inferno begins with the First Circle of Hell, reserved for the sin of the Lust. Dante glimpses Filippo Argenti, a former political enemy of his, and watches as other souls tear him to pieces. The Gluttonous are forced to lay in mud and experience an excrement and scum rain. Virgil and Dante come upon a group of Centaurs, which are a mix between men and horses. They come across those who have acted violently toward God.Dante and Virgil are carried by Geryon across a wide chasm and into the eighth circle of hell. The word Malebolge, or "evil pockets", alludes to the partition of the circle into numerous pockets, each divided by vast folds of dirt. Count Ugolino gnaws on the head of the person who imprisoned him in life for all of eternity. The Fourth Ring of the Ninth Circle of Hell, Judecca, is the next place Dante travels with Virgil.
