Dante’s Inferno: 8th Circle of Hell – Malebolge
“Many and varied sinners suffer eternally in the multi-leveled Malebolge, an ampitheatre-shaped pit of despair wholly of stone and of an iron colour: Those guilty of fraudulence and malice; the seducers and pimps, who are whipped by horned demons; the hypocrites, and those guilty of political corruption who struggle to walk in lead-lined cloaks; the barraters, who are dunked in boiling pitch by demons known as the Malebranche. The simonists, wedged into stone holes, and whose feet are licked by flames, kick and writhe desperately. The magicians, diviners, fortune tellers, and panderers are all here, as are the thieves. Some wallow in human excrement.”
