DANTE'S INFERNO: CANTO XXXIII . Dante and Virgil are still traveling through the freezing cold ninth circle of hell in Canto 33 of Dante's Inferno. Unlike some other parts of hell, where sinners are punished with flames or boiling hot substances, the sinners in the ninth circle, called Cocytus, are submerged in ice. Similar to other circles in hell, the ninth circle's punishments vary based upon the severity of sin. Currently, they are in the second round of this circle, called Antenora, where those who were traitors to their country are trapped with only their heads above the surface of the ice. Even with all he's seen on his journey, Dante can apparently still be horrified; this becomes apparent when he lays eyes on the sinners in this particular circle. Two men are close together, with one ''gnawing'' on the other's neck. Such a punishment must have a story behind it, and Dante offers to tell their story in the land of the living if only they'll share it with him. . . .
