Dante continues to search for Beatrice in the fifth circle and confronts Phlegyas, a giant, flaming demon who Dante unknowingly rides across the River Styx, a toxic marsh which eternally drowns those overcome with rage while alive. Those who expressed anger (the wrathful) attack each other on the swamp's surface, while those who repressed anger (the sullen) eternally drown beneath the marsh. Escaping the behemoth's fury, he rides atop Phlegyas into the City of Dis, guarded by the powerful Fallen Angels, to the lower circles.
When it comes to the City of Dis, Dante encounters the Fallen Angels, the Furies, and Medusa. Virgil also mentioned to Dante on how the witch Erichtho sent him down to the lowest circle of Hell to bring back a spirit from there.
City of Dis
The City of Dis is the infernal city that makes up the sixth circle of Hell, and the lower circles below. Inside Heresy are heretics and pagans who lie in fiery tombs. Throughout the city are Dark Priests who worship their darkgod. Dante reaches the gates of the city by controlling the boatman Phlegyas, and uses his great strength to smash down the gates of the city. Once inside, Dante must battle his way through the fiery tombs and corridors of the hellish fortress, if he is to reach the seventh circle beyond.
