Description
This is Limbo, also known as the first circle of Hell. In Limbo, you'll find unbaptized babies and the virtuous pagans, who, though not sinful, did not accept Christ. The poets Homer, Horace, Ovid, and Lucan, the Amazon queen Penthesilea, the mathematician Euclid, the scientist Pedanius Dioscorides, the statesman Cicero, the first doctor Hippocrates, the philosophers Socrates, Averroes, and Aristotle, and many others, including Julius Caesar in his role as Roman general, Electra, Camilla, Latinus, Lucius Junius Brutus, Lucretia, and Orpheus reside here.

Beyond the first circle, all of those condemned for active, deliberately willed sin are judged by King Minos, who sentences each soul to one of the lower eight circles by wrapping his tail around himself a corresponding number of times. He decides which unclean soul goes to which circle.
