English: Chart of Hell.Français : La Carte de l'Enfer.Español: Mapa del Infierno, obra de Sandro Botticelli. An illustration of Sandro Botticelli's The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia) is a long narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, begun c. 1308 and completed in 1320, a year before his death in 1321. It is widely considered to be the preeminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem's imaginative vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It helped establish the Tuscan language, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Nine circles of hellHere are the circles of hell in order of entrance and gravity: Limbo: Where are those who never knew Christ. Dante meets Ovid , Homer, Socrates , Aristotle, Julius Caesar, and more here. Lust: Obviously. Dante encounters e.g. Achilles, Paris, Tristan, Cleopatra and Dido.Gluttony: Where are those who enjoy too much. Dante meets ordinary people here, not the characters of epic poems or the gods of mythology. Author Boccaccio took one of these characters, Ciacco, and included him in his 15th-century collection of stories called "Decameron." Greed: Of course. Dante encounters more ordinary people, but also the district guard Pluto , the mythological king of the underworld. This circle is reserved for people who collected or wasted money, but Dante and Virgil do not interact directly with any of its residents. This is the first time they are going through a circle without talking to anyone, a comment on Dante’s view of greed as a higher sin. Anger: Furia threatens Dante and Virgil as they try to get through the walls of Dis (Satan). This is a further step forward in Dante’s assessment of the nature of sin; he also begins to question himself and his own life, realizing that his actions and character may lead him to this permanent torture. Heresy: Rejection of religious and / or political "norms". Dante meets Farinata degli Ubert, an army leader and aristocrat who tried to conquer the Italian throne and was posthumously convicted of heresy in 1283. Dante also meets Epicurus , Pope Anastasius II and Emperor Frederick II. Violence: This is the first circle further subdivided into sub-circuits or rings. There are three - the outer, middle and inner ring - with different types of violent criminals. The former are violent against people and property, such as Attila Hun . The centaurs guard this outer ring and shoot its inhabitants with arrows. The middle ring consists of those who commit violence against themselves (suicide). Harpies will eat these sinners forever. The inner ring is made up of mockers or people who are violent against God and nature. One of these sinners is the sodomite Brunetto Latini, who was Dante’s own mentor.(Dante speaks kindly to him.) The usurers are also here, as are those who mocked not only God, but also gods like Capaneus who mocked Zeus . Fraud: This circle is distinguished from its predecessors in that it consists of those who knowingly and intentionally commit fraud. Inside the eighth circle is another called Malebolge ("Evil Pockets") with 10 separate bolgias ("ditches"). These include types of fraud: panderers / seducers; flatterers; simoniacs (those who sell ecclesiastical benefits); wizards / astrologers / false prophets; barrators (corrupt politicians); hypocrites; thieves; false advisers / advisers; schismatics (those who separate religions to form new ones); and alchemists / counterfeiters, fakes, imitators, etc. Every bulgia is the guardian of various demons, and the inhabitants suffer various punishments, such as the Simonia axes, which stand chiefly in stone bowls and endure the flames on their feet. Deception: The deepest circle of hell where Satan lives. As with the last two circles, this one is further divided into four rounds. The first is Caina, named after the biblical Cain who murdered his brother. This tour is for family traitors. The second, Antenora - from the Trojan antenna that betrayed the Greeks - is reserved for political / national traitors. The third is Ptolomaea to Ptolemy, the son of Abubus, known to invite Simon Maccabaeus and his son to dinner and then murder them. This tour is for hosts who betray their guests;they are punished more severely for the belief that having guests means starting a voluntary relationship, and betraying a volunteer relationship is more despicable than betraying a born relationship. The fourth round is Judecca after Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ. This tour is reserved for traitors to their lords / benefactors / masters. As in the previous district, the departments each have their own demons and punishments. The center of hellDante and Virgil reach all nine hell circles through the way to the center of hell. Here they meet Satan, who is described as a three-headed beast. Every mouth is busy eating a particular person: the left mouth eats Brutus, the right mouth eats Cassius, and the middle mouth eats Judas Iscariot. Brutus and Cassius betrayed and caused the murder of Julius Caesar, while Judas did the same for Christ. These are the ultimate sinners, according to Dante, when they knowingly committed deceptions against their Lord, whom God has named. / Wiki This print comes with a white border around the image --------------------------- -How are the prints shipped?
