Dante Alighieri? I've always liked the interpretation of Rodin's The Thinker where the subject is supposedly Dante at the gates of Hell, contemplating his poem, Inferno.

EDIT:
I finally read the circular band of text around the map, and found a few errors. For those of you who don't want to contort your head to read the text, here is the corrected version:

• IN THE REALM OF HELL THERE IS NO REST OR PEACE OR JOY. THERE IS ONLY PAIN AND SUFFERING AND LAMENT FOR ALL OF ETERNITY.
• BLOOD FLOWS STEADILY FROM THE CENTER OF HELL, FEEDING THE CRIMSON OCEAN, CONTINUOUSLY CHURNED BY THE ROTATION OF THE LANDMASS.
• THE INNUMERABLE HOST OF HIDEOUS DEMONS, WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO INFLICT CONSTANT AGONY, HEED THE ORDERS OF THEIR OVERLORD.
• SHOULD A SOUL EVER BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THE TORTURE THEY RECIEVE, THEY ARE BANISHED TO A NEIGHBORING REALM FOR A NEW KIND OF PAIN.

Nah i just made all this up. I haven't read it, but im sure ive subliminally heard or veiwed parts of it which probably influenced my thinking along with everything else i've heard or seen about hell. What do you mean by corrected version?

[Midgardsormr]

You have "who's sole purpose," which should be "whose sole purpose." Who's is a conjunction meaning "who is," which precludes the use of the apostrophe when turning who into a possessive. Receive is misspelled as recieve (a misspelling that jkat ironically repeated). I didn't see any other errors, unless they refer to the lack of punctuation, which I took to be a stylistic choice.

I love the demonic parody of the Universal Man.
