    The Eight Circle - Bolgia 4

    Uploaded by

    qwshagdvndsavsb
    The Fourth Bolgia or "Pit" of the Eighth Circle of Hell is reserved for fortune tellers, sorcerers, astrologers, and false prophets. They are punished by having their heads twisted backwards so they walk around disoriented, since in life they wanted to see the future but now can only see the past. Some significant figures here include Tiresias, Amphiaraus, Guido Bonatti, and Michael Scot. Their disoriented state represents how they used their powers for unholy purposes rather than relying on divine prophecy.

    The Eighth Circle Bolgia 4

    Map of Hell

    The Fourth Bolgia or Pit of the Eighth Circle

    It is reserved for those who


    were fortune tellers,
    sorcerers, astrologers, and
    false prophets in their past
    life.

    Astrologers

    Sorcerers

    Fortune Tellers

    Tiresias
    Blind prophet of
    Thebes,
    Clairvoyance, a
    woman for 7
    years.

    Amphiaraus
    King of Argos
    and Adrastus.
    Given the
    oracular gift of
    Zeus and
    Apollo.

    Guido Bonatti

    Italian
    astronomer/
    astrologer.

    Michael Scot Wizard of the North


    Scottish man
    devoted to
    philosophy, math,
    but above all
    others, theology.

    Modern-Day Examples

    Madam Auring
    She is a
    fortune teller
    or
    manghuhula.

    Thats So Raven (TV Series)

    She can see the future.

    tickets and has
    mechanical animations.

    Fortune Cookies

    Tea/Coffee Fortunes - Tasseography

    Punishment?
    They have their heads
    twisted backwards and
    walk around disoriented.

    Significant Lines

    Canto XX Lines 10-14

    And when I looked down from their


    faces, I saw that each of them was
    hideously distorted between the top
    of the chest and the lines of the jaw;
    for the face was reversed on the neck,
    and they came on backwards

    Virgil explains the punishment, saying


    that, since most of these individuals
    wanted to use unholy powers to see
    into the future, they have now been
    condemned to look backwards for
    eternity.

    Canto XX Lines 124-125

    But come: Cain with


    his bush of thorns
    appears already on the
    wave below Seville.

    It is part of the final quote from Virgil in


    Canto XX. In this quote, Virgil uses the
    medieval Italian phrase Cain with his
    brush of thorns, which means the
    moon. This is one of the many theories
    as to where The Man in the Moon tale
    originated from.

    Song That
    Represents Bolgia 4
    Thats So Raven Theme Song
    by Raven Symone

    If you could gaze into the future


    You might think life would be a
    breeze
    Seeing trouble from a distance
    But its not that easy
    I try to save the situation
