Underworld Dreams picture and Dante's Inferno

[KDenz81]

Hey everybody,
I've been told once before that the original pic from Underworld Dreams is a scene right out of Dante's Inferno.  I have just recently picked the book up, sadly I've never read it, and I'm interested in knowing where in the book the picture relates to.  Any information would be helpful. 
Thanks in advance,
Denz

I think it's just kind of general. Read the whole book though, it's a wonderful story and definitely worth your time. I haven't read the two sequels, Purgatorio and Paradiso.

Purgatory is reasonably interesting, but Paradise is the most boring shit I've ever attempted to read.  I got about halfway through it, but I just cant force myself to finish it.

I recommend the translation by Robert Pinsky.  He strived to keep the sort of rythym that Dante had in the translation from Italian to English, and did a really good job.  His version also has some really good footnotes which clear up all of the otherwise opaque historical references and the symbolism you might not otherwise understand.

I'm reading the translated version by Henry Francis Cary.  This is about as much as I know about the pic of Underworld Dreams being relevant to The Inferno.  I know it's Dante and Virgil in the pic, and that's about it.  I don't know where they are, I could guess that they're at the river near the gate of hell, but I don't know for sure.  I'm guessing though it's just in general and it just relates to the book and story of The Inferno.  Thanks for your opinions and help guys.
