The Devil’s in the Details in Dante’s Inferno La Divina Commedia di Dante, by Domenico di Michelino, c. 1465, via Columbia College A stained glass window at Basilica Notre-Dame of Geneva depicts an angel fighting Satan, who is depicted as a dragon. Such dragon depictions were common during the Medieval period. (Image credit: Godong /Getty) Geryon, the winged monster who allows Dante and Virgil to descend a vast cliff to reach the Eighth Circle, was traditionally represented as a giant with three heads and three conjoined bodies. [77] Dante's Geryon, meanwhile, is an image of fraud, [78] combining human, bestial, and reptilian elements: Geryon is a "monster with the general shape of a wyvern but with the tail of a scorpion, hairy arms, a gaudily-marked reptilian body, and the face of a just and honest man". [79] The pleasant human face on this grotesque body evokes the insincere fraudster whose intentions "behind the face" are all monstrous, cold-blooded, and stinging with poison.The Malebranche ( Italian: [ˌmaleˈbraŋke]; "Evil Claws") [1] are the demons in the Inferno of Dante's Divine Comedy who guard Bolgia Five of the Eighth Circle ( Malebolge). They figure in Cantos XXI, XXII, and XXIII. Vulgar and quarrelsome, their duty is to force the corrupt politicians ( barrators) to stay under the surface of a boiling lake of pitch.
