Yesterday I already shared the first to fifth circles of hell by Dante's Inferno in the Book of The Divine Comedy. If you haven't read it yet, just click Dante's Inferno : First to Fifth Circle.

Note : This topic is a sensitive one, so if you're against about the doctrine of any religion especially Christiany, better to leave this now. My intention is just to share Dante's work.

Now I am going to share the remaining circles, so let's start!

But first let me Flex to you my sponsors, one of those persons who guide and support me throughout my journey here. You guys can check them too:)

________________________

Sixth circle : Heresy

This circle is the Grave yard portion of hell. This place is intended for those people who commit monstrous crime, and as a punishment, half of their body was buried in the flaming tomb

Seventh circle : Violence

This circle is divided into 3 rings, which represents how bad or severe the violence committed.

The first ring is for those who committed crime against other person/people. This includes the murder, war-maker, cruel ruler(harsh to his/her people), and other things that you can imagine who act violence against innocents. Souls are being punished dipped in the river called Phlegethon, this river is made of blood and flames.

The second ring is for who committed suicide, their souls are formed into a thorny Gnarled tree.

Crdts : Science Photo Library

Their leaves are eaten by Harpies ,these are birds who has the face of a woman. As a punishment they need to endure the pain lifetime, just like the pain they committed for themselves.

Third ring is for those who commit great disrespect to God(including God's gift, like money) and those who rape either a human or an animal (yes, other people do this). They are punished to suffer in a burning desert.

Eight circle : Fraud

This circle is divided into 10 Ditches; a narrow pit dug under the ground.

  • 1st Ditch - for sex workers

  • 2nd Ditch - for flatterers

  • 3rd Ditch - for those who are practising simony

  • 4th Ditch - for sorcerers and fortune tellers

  • 5th Ditch - for corrupts

  • 6th Ditch - for hypocrites

  • 7th Ditch - for thieves

  • 8th Ditch - for fraud counselors

  • 9th Ditch - for those who create their own religion

  • 10th Ditch - for cheater and deceiver

Each Ditch have it's own way of punishing the souls based on the sins that they commited. Just like on the first ditch, souls are punished by the demons through whipping them forever.

Nineth circle : Betrayal

This circle is divided into four Rounds.

First Round is called Caina. This is from the name of Cain who kill his brother Abel. So, those who betrayed their family are placed here.

Second Round is called Antenora. If you have read the story about Trojan War in Greek mythology, Antero is a counselor ans who is the traitor in the event. So, this place are for those who betrayed their nation.

Third Round is called Ptolomaea. I actually forgot about what Ptolemy did, but based on what searched, he killed his Father-in-law and sons. So this round in for those who betrayed acquaintances or guests.

Fourth Round is called Judecca. This is from the name of Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus. This place is intended for those people who betrayed God.


After the last round is the center of the earth, wherein Satan resided.

The way Dante presented the 9 circles of hell to his readers evokes a storm of emotions and, as we hope and as the author of antiquity hoped for, warns people against bad deeds. It is a classic, though not for everyone.

Actually, if all these points/crimes noted will lead people to hell, then it's just few or no one would make heaven. About the author, I don't know him that much but where did he got this idea? He once died and came back to earth to write this? Interesting

No, this is just all about how creative his mind is. What make this interesting more is that, he is not afraid to mention names.

I never imagine that a comedian can really write a book like this, it's terrifying to know but interesting one, this may be possible and I hope crimina,s and sinners may know this so that they will know where they belong in hell once they die. It's a specially of you to write this kind of topic, maybe it's time to switch with this kind of genre talking about demons and angels, I'm urging to read more.

Dante was no comedian. Back in time they divided poems in "low" and "high". A high poem was called "tragedy" and a low "comedy". Dante named his work "comedy", because it was written in Italian (vulgar language) and not in Latin, which was otherwise normal for serious works at the time.

Hmmn, not. He wrote this to warn the readers about the sins that they are doing, but all in all, this is based on his imagination, he just connect about religion and mythology; also for entertainment.

Dante's work can be very very scary given the last time i read of it from an article you wrote here hahahaha. Anyway, that is just his own theory but in all, if all were to be believed about him, then Cain according to his theory deserve the place he went to as much as every other persons who killed their brothers as well
