First Circle Of Hell
The first circle of hell is depicted in Dante Alighieri's 14th-century poem ''Inferno (Dante), Inferno'', the first part of the ''Divine Comedy''. ''Inferno'' tells the story of Dante's imaginary journey through a vision of the Hell in Christianity, Christian hell, ordered into nine circles corresponding to classifications of sin. The first circle is Limbo, the space reserved for those souls who died either before baptism or those who hail from non-Christian cultures.
