I think it would be okay to have a thread in order to ask and answer questions about the poem.

I have a question, the city of Dite that is shwon at the end of the mire from Anger, is it part of Anger or part of Heresy? Is Heresy inside Dite or Dite is a division from Anger and Heresy and no part of any of them actually?

Sorry, it wasn't very clear for me in the poem.

Hi Evil Rick!
All of the last four circles of hell are placed within the city of Dis, but I don't know whether the developers will place the entrance into it at the end of Anger or at the start of Heresy. It is from its walls onwards where the really serious sinners are being punished.

That's Geryon, actually, and he is from mythology. Many of the mythological creatures in Dante serve as physical representations of the sins they symbolize. Geryon, certainly so. He would invite people to dinner and kill them, taking thier possessions - a serious violation of xenia in the ancient world. That's what fraud is - betraying those who, for some reason, had special cause to trust you.
