Someone is boiling in pitch and if he sticks out - the imps thrust hooks into him. Punishment: sinners whipped by imps are walking in two counter streams gotten stuck in stinking feces, the upper bodies of some are enchained in rock, fire flows off the feet. The priests who sold church offices also get into this circle. Visionaries, fortunetellers, sorceresses, bribe-takers, hypocrites, flatterers, thieves, alchemists, perjurers and false-coiners are being tortured next to it.

The dwelling of panders and seducers consists of 10 ditches (Bolgias ), in the center of which there's the deadliest ninth circle of Hell. Punishment: being boiled in the red river, languished in the hot desert next to the flaming stream, being chased and torn by harpies and hunting dogs. Sinners are torn to pieces by dogs, they're fed upon by harpies, they are boiled in scarlet boiling water, are turned into trees and are made to run under flame jets. Tyrants and murderers, suiciders, blasphemers and even gamblers (who droned their property out) get in here. The steppe where it's firing rain all the time and always the same appears to the eyes: awful torturing of the souls immersed in violence. Punishment: being a ghost in flaming tombs. The entrance to the 7th circle is blocked with a stinking downfall. Inescapable sorrow reigns there, and heretics and false teachers are lying in the open tombs like in eternal furnaces. The flaming City of Dis (the Romans called Hades, the God of the underworld, Dis) with sisters Furies with snaky knots instead of hair guard. Punishment: never-ending fighting in the bog up to the chin. All the circles up to the 5th are the dwelling of the unrestrained, and intemperance is considered less sin then anger and violent beastliness, and that's why the suffering of the souls is easier in comparison with those who reside in farther circles. Punishment: eternal dispute.Ī giant river, more accurately, Stygian bog where souls are exiled to for laziness and wrath. Pushing loads with their chests, they move toward each other, clash and then come apart to start it all over again. This is a huge plain with two groups of people. The dwelling of those who spent and saved money unworthily. Gluttons are confined in this circle: there's never-ending icy rain, the souls lie in a vile slush, and demon Cerberus strips the prisoners had gotten under his sharp-clawed paw. Punishment: being blown violently back and forth by strong winds. If you coveted someone else's wife or husband, were overcome by lust - your soul will be straying lost above the abyss for all eternity. Here everything is covered with mist and storms are raging all the time - strong winds hurl the souls of people who were led by the desire for fleshly pleasures. Travelers are met by king Minos (a righteous judge and Minotaur's father) at the entrance. Ancient philosophers and poets live in Limbo (among them - Vergil): there were Noah, Moses, and Abraham - all the holy men mentioned in the Old Testament, but then they were allowed to ascend into Heaven. The first circle of hell is Limbo, where the souls of virtuous non-Christians and unbaptized pagans reside.
