We have talked about various civilizations over the past few weeks and each of them have their own amount of philosophy, literature, music, and art. I don’t know that I could honestly pick one civilization that has contributed to the world more than the others. I feel as if Greece, Rome, Egypt, and every other civilization had an enormous impact on different things that we now use today.

The first level isn’t all that bad it had people there such as unbaptized babies and pagans who are punished with an inferior form of Heaven. Now, when we get to the deeper levels of Hell down toward the ninth level (Treachery) things get a lot harsher. Sinners will be plunged into a very icy lake and will be pushed deeper due to the more severity of their sin. There are four rounds in the ninth circle of Hell. The rounds are divided out into the severity of the sin that a person many have committed. The different rounds in Hell are named after different individuals who had personified the sin. The first round is named Caina, named after Cain who had killed his brother Abel in the Bible. The second round is named Antenora after Anthenor of Troy who has Priam’s counselor during the Tojan war. The third round is named Ptlomaea after Ptolemy, the son of Abubus. Finally the fourth round is named Judecca after Judas Iscariot after the apostle who betrayed Jesus with a kiss and caused him to
