Detailed explanation-1: -Here Dante meets the souls of the unbaptised, of virtuous pagans and those who lived before the time of Christ; Hellenistic and Roman figures including Homer, Horace, Hector, and Lucius Junius Brutus, as well as Islamic scholars and nobility such as Saladin, Avicenna, and Averroes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Fourth Circle is guarded by a figure Dante names as Pluto: this is Plutus, the deity of wealth in classical mythology. Although the two are often conflated, he is a distinct figure from Pluto (Dis), the classical ruler of the underworld.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Ravenna, Italy, archivists recently discovered a lost canto of Dante’s Inferno-what appears to be the tenth circle of Hell. The ninth circle was previously understood to be the lowest point of Hell reached by Dante and his guide Virgil before ascending on their journey toward Paradise.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dante finds Pope Nicholas III here in the 8th circle of Hell in one of these holes and this is his way of calling out corrupt churchmen.
