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.
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.
