The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 09 by Dante Alighieri
"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 09" by Dante Alighieri is an Italian narrative poem begun around 1308 and completed around 1321. This segment presents part of Dante's journey through the Inferno, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. The work depicts the soul's progression through the afterlife, exploring divine justice where individuals face consequences fitting their earthly actions. Drawing on medieval Catholic theology and philosophy, the poem allegorically represents the
soul's journey toward God, beginning with the recognition and rejection of sin in Hell's nine circles. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
