After escaping the Hall of Gluttons, Dante enters the circle of Greed, which is mechanical in nature compared to the previous circles. Within the circle are occupants who are boiled alive in molten gold below, condemned for hoarding too closely or spending too freely with riches. In this "factory of torture," Dante will be faced with the horrendous puzzles of the Wheel of Fortune which is used to deliver punishment, and come face to face against the fallen god Plutus, a living golden statue
ALSO: The hoarders and wasters joust back and forth constantly with huge bags of money, wailing and gnashing their teeth.
Wheel of Fortune The Wheel is a huge, torture device in the Fourth Circle. It turns constantly, crushing the souls beneath with its weight. When he first comes across the wheel, a battle against multiple demons will break out, consisting primarily of lust demons, a Glutton, and an Arch Demon. Dante uses an Asterian Beast to knock the great wheel over onto a lake of molten gold, and confronts the damned soul of his own father upon the wheel. Virgil explains the Wheel of Fortune to Dante as they travel through the Fourth Circle of Hell. He explains how the turning of the wheel results in all the events, both good and bad, that occur on Earth
Hoarder/Waster
First encountered in the circle of Greed, this pair of souls, one who hoarded in life, and one who wasted, has now in been melded into a singular creature in Hell. One side of it gathering coins while the other side constantly spewing gold coins from his chest. They also have a massive golden mace that they swing around in a circle when they become threatened.
Plutus
Plutus is the God of wealth who was worshiped by the Romans and Greeks. Plutus appears as a living golden statue with multiple arms and several blue gems in different parts of his body. He is widely worshiped by the ghosts condemned to the fourth Circle of Hell, Greed. Though he is imprisoned as a large statue, he still retains some of his godly powers. He is able to create and destroy golden blocks by firing beams from his eyes. As people passes by him, he utters the phrase "Papé Satàn, papé Satàn aleppe."
