L'enfer (1 of 2) by Dante Alighieri

"L'enfer (1 of 2)" by Dante Alighieri is the first part of a 14th-century narrative poem describing a fictional journey through Hell. Guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil, Dante traverses nine concentric circles of torment deep within the Earth. Each circle punishes specific sins with fitting eternal consequences. The descent begins when Dante finds himself lost in a dark wood, blocked by three symbolic beasts. This allegorical journey represents the soul's recognition and rejection of sin on its path toward God. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
