Dante's journey in Hell started... well... it is difficult to tell. There is not a day-night cycle here in Hell, ao the poet really couldn't say how long he had been there.

Even Virgil, his roman guide, couldn't tell. But did that really matter, in the end?

Dante looked around with the curiosity of a small child, eager to talk to the souls he saw and eager to ask them why they were there. And the journey didn't stop, ths two would keep walking the various places of Hell, going lower and lower.
