Dante's Inferno Animated Page #3

---

Virgil. Virgil!

In here, Dante. Hurry.

What is that sound?

More demons?

No.

They are familiar to me.

The great rulers and philosophers

of the golden age.

Is that not Hector and Electra?

Caesar and King Latinus?

And do not forget Plato,

Socrates and Aristotle.

I have never agreed to such terms.

I say that God exists in the realm of ideas,

accessible to human thought.

Plato, there is only one philosophy

in the Inferno - Lucifer's.

Do not look for liberation here, old friend.

- Do you know this shade?

- He was Saladin,

a noble Kurdish sultan.

I fought his forces in the Crusades

under Richard the Lionheart.

Filthy heretic, Jerusalem is ours.

We will wash these holy lands

in your heathen blood.

Father...

Mercy, noble knight. She's only a child.

Dante! Dante, the forces

of Saladin arw routed!

Dante?

My God, what is it?

He is King Minos.

Once a king of Crete

before Daedalus

boiled him in his own bath.

Now, Minos foreverjudges the damned,

sending them to their circle below.

- Through him...

- Traitor.

...all must pass.

Heretic.

Glutton.

Hoarder.

Suicide!

Who comes into my house of pain?

He who seeks Beatrice.

Let me pass, that I may find her.

Turn back.

There is no place for you here.

Not yet, O mortal.

With your permission or not,

I pass, monster.

You dare so speak

to the judge of the damned?

I dare.

I will judge you to the lowest circle of Hell.

Lucifer shall devour you for eternity!

Silence, Minos. It is his fate to proceed.

Here you must descend.

The damned are trying to flee.

Lucifer will not be pleased.

Let him come.

If these demons can die in the Inferno,

then so can he.

What is this place?

This is the second circle,

the circle of Lust.

To this torment are condemned

the carnal damned.

They are the great lustful of the world.

See there Semiramis and Ninus,

Anthony and Cleopatra,

Helen of Troy and Paris.

The storms of lust forever rage

while passion inflames the heart.

Listen, on the wind.

- Dante, help me.

- Beatrice!

Please, Dante.

Dante.

- Beatrice!

- Dante, hold.

Beatrice!

A new visitor arrives, sisters.

Come, embrace us, Dante.

We know what you want.

We can see it in your eyes.

Unbearable lust.

No, let me pass.

Stand aside, harlot.

If you won't have us, we shall have you!

Dante, how could you let this happen?

How could you betray me?

No, Beatrice. I swear.

What do you swear, Dante?

Do you want me to show her the truth?

Serpent. It's all lies.

I never betrayed her.

I'll kill you!

You can hide from

neither memory nor sin, Dante.

What? King Richard wants us

to stand guard over 3,000 prisoners?

That is his command?

He will negotiate their exchange
