Oh, the 9th circle is so much worse than we imagined

In The Divine Comedy Dante declared that the 9th circle of hell was reserved for the treacherous. Treachery, he reasoned, lacked love therefore those who engaged in it should be as far from God’s love as possible. They should be denied any and all warmth and should, indeed, spend eternity in a sheet of ice.
