Inferno begins on the evening of Good Friday, 1300. Dante Alighieri has lost his way while traveling through a dark wood and now wanders frightened through the forest. The sun shines down on a mountain above him, and he tries to ascend it but is stopped by three beasts: a leopard, a lion, and a she-wolf. Dante returns to the dark wood, terrified and helpless. Here he meets the ghost of Virgil, the famous Roman poet, who has come to assist Dante back on his route, to the mountain’s summit. According to Virgil, their journey will take them through Hell and eventually to Heaven, where Dante’s beloved Beatrice awaits. He goes on to say that it was Beatrice, together with two other holy women, who sent Virgil to guide Dante after he became lost in the woods.
Virgil guides Dante through Hell’s gates, which are marked by the haunting statement “abandon all hope, those who come hither” (III.7). They enter the Ante-Inferno, an outlying section of Hell where souls who could never commit to either good or evil in life must now run in a pointless chase after a blank banner, day after day, as hornets attack them and worms sip their blood. Dante is repugnant and pity-filled when he observes their agony.

About the quiz
Virgil and Dante then walk to the walls of Dis, a city inside the wider territory of Hell. The demons guarding the gates refuse to open them for Virgil until an angelic messenger from Heaven arrives to force the gates open in front of Dante.
