Longfellow translated the text because he wanted assist Dante in remaining a prominent poet, along with the Fireside poets, they translated the texts because, I believe Longfellow, found a copy of La Divina Comedia while he was in Rome and was so fascinated by it, that he brought a copy back and began to translate it for the American public, despite severe criticism from other writes and prominent figures such as Harvard and its president who viewed the text as too Catholic for the dominantly protestant region, claiming that God would not damn anyone to a specific region and punishment for comitting a single sin. Longfellow, Fields, Holmes, and Lowell were all approached in different ways to try and convince them to quit the translation and so they could keep their positions in both society and their respective fields.

The game is based on a poem written by Dante' Alighieri called " Divine Comedy"

The game is based on the adventures of a knight who has committed some of the most evil and poissibly unforgivable sins, when he was returning home to his supposed sister Beatrice and he admits to the fact that she was his wife, no relation by blood. But on his way home he comes to find her brutally murdered by an assassin and has been taken to hell by Lucifer The Fallen Angel, He goes on a Perilous journey to relieve her from this fate even at the cost of his own life and soul but the fact is she was only bait in order for the evil angel to be free from his icy imprisonment.

The poem itself was about Dante's persona of Pilgrim being led through the nine levels of Hell, and observing the punishments of those who were devout in their evil ways.

Not entirely, although this is ambiguous. Virgil lived before the Christian era, he was never exposed to Christianity, and thus God placed him in Limbo, with others who lived before Christ. Virgil was simply given the task of escorted Dante through the levels of Hell. Although Limbo is not entirely considered "Hell", it is in Hell proper, although there is chance for those in Limbo to be saved, and brought to purgatory when the final judgement comes.

Dante's Inferno Translation:

"I AM THE WAY INTO THE CITY OF WOE.

I AM THE WAY TO A FORSAKEN PEOPLE.

I AM THE WAY INTO ETERNAL SORROW.

SACRED JUSTICE MOVED MY ARCHITECT.

I WAS RAISED HERE BY DIVINE OMNIPOTENCE,

PRIMORDIAL LOVE AND ULTIMATE INTELLECT.

ONLY THOSE ELEMENTS TIME CANNOT WEAR

WERE MADE BEFORE ME, AND BEYOND TIME I STAND.

ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE. "

In middle Italian:

Per me si va nella citta dolente per me si va nell'eterno dolore

per me si va tra la perduta gente

giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore

facemi la divina podestate

la soma sapienza e la primo amore

devante a me, non fuor cosa create

sei non eterno, ed io eterno duro

lasciate ogne speranze voi qu'intrate

Translation:

Through me the way to the suffering city

Through me the way to eternal pain

Through me the way that runs amond the lost

Justice urged on my high artifier

my maker was divine authority

the highest wisdom, and the primal love

Before me, nothing but eternal things were made

and I endure eternally

Abandon all hope, who enter here
