Line 1:
Line 1: − + − Dante's work is most notably critisized as "an eclectitc mix of religions", as in illustrating various sins in his book Dante employs punishments and commandments from many religions, including judaism, christianity, and scientology, instead of focusing on Hell as defined by any one religion.
Misleading to call it a trilogy; removed rubbish about a 'mix of religions'.

The first book of [[Dante]]'s trilogy, ''The Divine Comedy,'' about his imagined trip to [[Hell]]. It is very frightening. According to Dante, the inscription at the entrance to Hell reads "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."
The '''Inferno''' is the first of the three cantiche in [[Dante]]'s poetic work, ''The Divine Comedy,'' about his imagined trip to [[Hell]] ('Inferno' is the Italian word for 'Hell'). It is very frightening. According to Dante, the inscription at the entrance to Hell reads "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."
''The Divine Comedy'' was most famously illustrated by Gustave Doré, whose very literal interpretations of the punishments sinners suffer in Hell are truly horrifying.
