Inferno (Italian: [iɱˈfɛrno]; Italian for "Hell") is the first part of Italian writer Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso. The Inferno tells the journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine concentric circles of torment located within the Earth; it is the "realm ... of those who have rejected spiritual values by yielding to bestial appetites or violence, or by perverting their human intellect to fraud or malice against their fellowmen". As an allegory, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul toward God, with the Inferno describing the recognition and rejection of sin.

The Druids, the enigmatic high-ranking priestly class of the ancient Celts, continue to capture the human imagination. Their history, however, is largely a study of external perspectives; a mosaic pieced together from the writings of their Greco-Roman contemporaries and later medieval Irish literature. This lack of first-hand accounts is not due to a lack of literacy, but rather a doctrinal prohibition against writing down their sacred knowledge, opting instead for a rigorous oral tradition that could take up to twenty years to master.

This creature has bridged the gap between ancient natural history, medieval theology, and modern folklore, adapting its meaning to fit the cultural needs of every era it inhabited.
