2* The Inferno features several elements based on Myth/{{ClassicalMythology}}, including Cerberus, the River Styx, and Plutus. Once they're at Purgatory, though, it's pretty much all Christianity-based lore. Well, since hell is where all the sinners go, then it would naturally serve as a receptacle for the blasphemous ideas of a "false religion".
3** However, in Purgatory the typical structure of the examples of virtues and vices is to have a mix of examples from the Bible and ones from classical mythology or Roman history.

6* If Ugolino is gnawing on Ruggieri's head ''forever'', then what does that mean for Ruggieri? Will Ugolino only eat so much of his head so that he ends up being stuck with a massive hole in his skull and/or at least part of his brain missing? Or will Ugolino eventually eat his entire head, leaving him headless? And when Ugolino is done eating Ruggieri's head, what will he do next? What happens when both of them get their bodies back [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt at the Final Judgment]]? Will Ruggieri's head be restored, only for Ugolino to eventually eat it again? Or will his head remain the way it already was?
