The first circle was limbo, the second held those who succumbed to lust, the third to gluttony, the fourth to greed, the fifth to wrath, the sixth to heresy, to seventh to violence, the eighth to fraud and the ninth to treachery (traitors!).
Dante's Divine Comedy describes the 6 layers of hell and the 7 areas of heaven. In a very literal sense, it can therefore be described as a vision of afterlife. One step removed, it is also a reflection upon society at the time (early Italian Renaissance), where the description of hell reflects social ills and the description of heaven could be named a vision of an enlightened future.
Dido was a widowed Queen of Carthage in Virgil's poem of the Aeneid. She become lover to Aeneas the hero of the story but committed suicide when Aeneas abandoned her to continue his mission to establish a new civilization in Italy. Perhaps why Dante places Dido in the 2nd circle of Lust and not in circle 7: Violence with the suicides, is that Dante felt her betrayal to her deceased husband in taking Aeneas as a lover out of a lustful desire was stronger then the way of her death.

In Dante Alighieri's Divina Commedia there are nine circles of Hell. Allegorically, the Inferno represents the Christian soul seeing sin for what it really is, and the three beasts (a lion, a leopard, and a she-wolf) represent three types of sin: the self-indulgent, the violent, and the malicious. These three types of sin also provide the three main divisions of Dante's Hell: Upper Hell (the first 5 Circles) for the self-indulgent sins; Circles 6 and 7 for the violent sins; and Circles 8 and 9 for the malicious sins.
The concept of the seven rings of hell is primarily drawn from Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy," specifically in the "Inferno" section, which describes nine circles of hell rather than seven. Each circle represents different sins and their corresponding punishments, ranging from limbo for the unbaptized to treachery at the deepest level. The circles are organized by the severity of sins, with the outer circles punishing lesser sins and the inner circles punishing more grievous offenses. This allegorical framework illustrates Dante's views on morality and divine justice.

4/(7) = 4/7 is the ratio of circles to triangles. Some prefer to express this as 4:7.

Dante believed that if you were a good christian you would go to heaven but if you were bad you would go to one of Seven rings of Hell. The lower number you got was the best so ring 1 is the best part of hell with the least amount of punishment but ring 7 was the worst with the most punishment.
