Limbo is the first Circle of Hell.

OverviewEdit

Limbo is the first circle of the Inferno proper. Limbo is on the outer boundary of Hell, just across the river Acheron. Here lie those who were not sinful, but did not acquire the proper portal of faith. Dante arrives at the after boarding Charon and taking control of an Asterian Beast. On the opposite side of the Citadel of Limbo is the serpentine King Minos, the Judge of the Damned. Dante manages to sentence the judge by placing Minos' tongue on a torture device and spins the wheel around to split his face in half, continuing into Lust.

TriviaEdit

• The term "Limbo" derives from the Latin term "limbus" which translates to "edge" or "boundary". It is believed to be the outermost region of Hell, to which are condemned souls who were not sinful, but lacked the proper faith to enter Paradise. However this is not offically taught by the Catholic Church.
• In "Inferno", Dante found poets Homer, Horace, Ovid, and Lucan, the Amazon queen Penthesilea, the mathematician Euclid, the philosophers Socrates and Aristotle, Julius Caesar, Electra, Camilla, Latinus, Lucius Junius Brutus, Lucretia, Orpheus, and Saladin. Virgil mentioned to Dante that Noah, Moses, David, and Abraham were in Limbo until Jesus arrived in Limbo and brought them to Heaven.
