INFERNO
|
In Dante's configuration of Hell, damnation is
measured by the soul's distance from God. In nine descending circles,
sinners find their places in the hierarchy according to the crimes they
committed in life. At the very bottom, the treacherous are confined
in ice. Lucifer, lord of the underworld, gnaws on the spirits of history's
most infamous traitors: Judas Iscariot, Brutus, and Cassius.
