Dante's Inferno has a nice entertaining description of hell, and the labyrinth like circles of hell (different circles punish different kinds of sin, the final level is where satan is condemned to reside....). I wonder if Dante were asked to rewrite the inferno now... he would probably write about a man driving a Hummer being boiled in oil and such... (since doing the same to heretics would be politically incorrect now....)
