Detailed explanation-1: -In Dante’s imagined descent through hell, he reserved the Ninth Circle-the “lowest, blackest, and farthest from Heaven”-for the sin of treachery. The worst sinners, in his underworld, were the traitors-those who betrayed their loved ones, their country, and their God.
Detailed explanation-2: -The final layer of the Ninth Circle is the worst and is for people who have betrayed their masters; benefactors, or people who have supported them; or God. It’s called Judecca, named for Judas, who betrayed Christ in the Bible.
Detailed explanation-3: -Treachery was the ninth Circle of Hell. This last circle was dedicated to those people who betrayed their loved ones, friends, best friends, countries, cities, guests and even their masters.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sinners assigned to the Sixth Circle of Hell in Dante’s Inferno are guilty of heresy, or having beliefs that contradict any teachings of a major religion; in this case, Christianity. These could include pagans or members of other belief systems.
Detailed explanation-5: -The eighth circle of hell is reserved for those guilty of fraud. The circle is subdivided into 10 separate ditches, or Bolgia, representing various types of fraud: seducers, flatterers, simonists, sorcerers, unscrupulous politicians, hypocrites, thieves, deceivers, schismatics and falsifiers.
