Detailed explanation-1: -Dante saw that Satan had three mouths in which he had the three greatest traitors of human history: Brutus and Cassius, two Roman traitors, and Judas Iscariot.
Detailed explanation-2: -Their treason is inarguable, as Brutus and Cassius directly participated in Caesar’s murder, and Judas handed Jesus over to the authorities who despised Jesus. They all betrayed the leaders of their time, one being secular, the other being spiritual.
Detailed explanation-3: -Brutus and Cassius, or Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus were the men who were responsible for the betrayal and assassination of Julius Caesar the leader of the Roman Empire, and thought by Dante to have been divinely appointed.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Dante’s Inferno (Canto XXXIV), Cassius is one of three people deemed sinful enough to be chewed in one of the three mouths of Satan, in the very centre of Hell, for all eternity, as a punishment for killing Julius Caesar.
Detailed explanation-5: -Suffering even more than Brutus and Cassius, Dante’s Judas is placed head-first inside Lucifer’s central mouth, with his back skinned by the devil’s claws (Inf. 34.58-63).
