Dante's Inferno gives us an imaginary picture of Hell - that's not to say that the book does not have some relevant insights about sin and damnation, but the imagery is all from Dante's imagination.

No, "Dante's Inferno" is a fictional work by Dante Alighieri, who wrote it as part of his epic poem, "The Divine Comedy." It is an allegorical tale about the journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, and is not based on real events or places.

∙ 12y agoDante proposed an idea of what hell would be like and incorporated elements of the world-view of his time, but he was more focused on allegory than providing a literal description. The Divine Comedy (of which Inferno is the first part) was a work of art, not a theological treatise. Dante did not claim to have actually seen hell - rather he used his description of it to comment on human sin.
