Would the real Dante Alighieri please stand up?

It’s the 9th of the month, so that means Visceral have released info about the next circle of Hell: this time it’s the 4th circle, “Greed” (I would have stuck with “Avarice”, but then I would have done a lot of things differently to them).

This time the team reveals that Dante, now a veteran of the Crusdades, has committed each of the 7 Deadly Sins (although there are 9 levels of Hell, so they’ve fudged it a bit). Having realised this, the Poet sews a tapestry of linen squares onto his bare chest in the shape of a cross, each depicting the sin he committed. Mmm… sacrilicious. I imagine he’ll redeem himself of each sin as he descends into the Inferno.

Previous coverage:
5. Meanwhile, in Hell…
4. Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso… what’s next? E3.
3. Go to Hell. Do not pass Florence. Do not collect a free tour by Virgil.
2. The 2nd Circle – Lust. For blood (and money).
