Front 6

the violent against neighbors

Back 6

They are smothered underneath the boiling-hot River of Blood, the Phlegethon. All their violence caused bloodshed of their neighbors, therefore, they will wallow in blood themselves forever.

2) The centaurs stab them with spears and shoot them with arrows when they try to rise from the river. Because of their own violence to others, now the violence is forever upon them.

Front 7

the violent against self

Back 7

1) Since they destroyed their own bodies, they are denied any resemblance to a body in Hell. Instead, their substance is the wood of trees.
2) Their leaves are painfully eaten by the Harpies, mythological birds which destroy all they touch.
3) When their leaves or braches are plucked, they bleed--and it is the only moments in which they can speak.
4) Their wounds from the birds heal, enabling the wounds to reoccur and the Harpies to eat at them eternally.

Back 8

They are huddled, or crouched, on the firey ground.

They are stretched out upon the Sand. Because these sinners were violent to God, they feel God's wrath: a slow rain of fire from above.
