Thank you for your epic summary of Dante's Inferno. "The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, "eternal fire." The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs." (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1035)

Note: "God predestines no one to go to hell; for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and in the daily prayers of her faithful, the Church implores the mercy of God, who does not want "any to perish, but all to come to repentance..." (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1037)

Salvation: "Christ went down into the depths of death so that 'the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.' Jesus, 'the Author of life' by dying destroyed 'him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and [delivered] all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage.' Henceforth the risen Christ holds 'the keys of Death and Hades', so that 'at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth....' Today a great silence reigns on earth, a great silence and a great stillness. A great silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. . . He has gone to search for Adam, our first father, as for a lost sheep. Greatly desiring to visit those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, he has gone to free from sorrow Adam in his bonds and Eve, captive with him - He who is both their God and the son of Eve. . . 'I am your God, who for your sake have become your son. . . I order you, O sleeper, to awake. I did not create you to be a prisoner in hell. Rise from the dead, for I am the life of the dead." (Catechism of the Catholic Church #635)

In the IV Circle of Greed gold pearls are better than gold coins, because unlike coins, which are made by man (Fraud), pearls are made by Nature (example the golden touch of Dionysus and the natural magic water that can turn everything into perfect gold).
In Greed as monsters there are: Scorpions (serpentine), Giants, Oreads, Talos, Salamanders and Beasts (both humanoid).
Who else could be the Guardian of Greed, the Dragon Ladon (Golden Apples of the Garden of the Hesperides)?
The dimension is a golden Pandemonium: boiling golden lake for the damned who push great golden stones (Avaricious and Prodigals always in boiling gold).

Together with Cerberus, also Giants, Octopus and Beasts (both humanoid), Satyrs, Dryads and Cyclopes guarding Gluttony.
A dimension of clay sea with clay rain, with the damned just like in a clay soup.

Who can be the Guardian of Lust/Pride, Python the Dragon (the Dragon as a symbol of the Vampire and therefore of Lust/Pride)?
The II Circle of Lust/Pride is divided into storm of air for the Lustful and sea of snow for the Prideful.
In Lust/Pride as monsters there are: Serpents and Moray Eels (both humanoid), Gorgons (with a serpentine tail), Lamia, Ophiotaurs (with a serpentine tail), Vampires (draconid), Sirens/Mermaids (winged with a serpentine tail), Naiads, Dracaenas, Nereids and Mermen/Tritons (all four with two serpentine tails), Gorgotaurs (with two serpentine tails), Dragons (classic and serpentine), Crocodiles and Lizards (both humanoid), Ichthyocentaurs (with two equine legs and one/two serpentine tail/tails), Pegasi, Lobsters and Beasts (all three humanoid), Giants, Hippocampi (serpentine), Lampads.

Replace the Wrathful with the Envious in the Styx, and put the Wrathful within Dis with the Heretics!
(Example Phlegyas, Fire of Ares, Thera's Bane, Atlas Quake, Blades of Exile)
The Devils's Heresy is Wrath (example Lucifer's Heresy of Wrath which made the Devils wrathful towards the Angels, causing the War in Heaven)!
The City of Dis is practically divided into three Rings: Wrathful (heretics against others), Pagans (heretics against themselves) and Heretics (heretics against God).
"The City of Dis held Hell's deepest secrets and the worst violent and treacherous sinners. The fallen angels guarded it's walls and flaunted his kingdom."
In Heresy as monsters there are: Golems, Giants, Griffons, Vultures, Eagles, Beasts (all four humanoid).

The Leviathan is the Prince of Envy, who destroys and devours everything.
The Bog of the Forgotten from God of War 2/Ascension (along with the Barbarian Hammer, Nemesis Whip, Charon's Wrath, Scourge of Erinys) is a realm of Envy/Sloth.
Now Keres, Giants, Bears, Owls, Hawks, Wyverns, Basilisks, Crabs, Sharks, Turtles, Toads, Bats, Crows and Beasts (all twelve humanoid), Skeletons, Wraiths, Necromancers are the ones to watch over the Styx marsh.
“See the souls over whom Envy has prevailed. In the warm bath of the sun they were once hateful; down here in the black sludge of the river Styx do they wish they had never been born.”
“Souls indignant! How many up there now count themselves kings, that here shall lie like worms in the mire, leaving their condemnations far behind!”
"The Styx, a toxic marsh. Those awash with Envy drowned again and again, choking on their own venom."
It is my well-founded and proven belief that Dante by Wrath he meant Envy (with Sloth) and by Heresy he meant Wrath (with Heresy).
Using Cacus as an example, shouldn't the Centaurs be placed not in the VII Circle of Violence but in the V Circle of Envy?
Phlegias is the Guardian of Wrath/Heresy (VI Circle) and the Hydra (now a serpentine Poison Giantess) is the Guardian of Envy/Sloth (V Circle).

Guarding the I Ring of Violence are Ravens and Beasts (both humanoid), Minotaurs, Werewolves and Giants, in the II Ring of Violence are Harpies (humanoid) and Hounds, in the III Ring of Violence are Colossi and Lions (humanoid).
Fire (storm) in the City of Heresy (Wrathful, Pagans and Heretics always in burning rock) and sand (storm) in the Desert of Blasphemy (Blasphemers, Sodomites and Usurers always in burning ash).

In the I Ring (Caina) of Treachery, among the Traitors of Relatives, there are also the Traitors of Friends (because a loved friend becomes similar to a loved relative).

In Fraud, to torment the Hypocrites, under their gold there is not lead but mercury (much more symbolic).

Put the background music a little lower. I do the same mistake but my goal isn't to get subs.
