A copy of The Inferno (top left) aboard the SS Botany Bay
Inferno or Dante's Inferno was the first part of Dante Alighieri's epic Italian poem The Divine Comedy. It was followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso and described Dante's journey through Hell.
A copy of Inferno was among the small collection of books found aboard the SS Botany Bay in 2285. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
Captain Kathryn Janeway was given a copy of Dante's Inferno by her fiancé Mark Johnson as an engagement gift. She later lent the book to Chakotay, who once quoted its opening line to her:
"In the middle of the journey of our life
I found myself astray in a dark wood
where the straight road had been lost."
Chakotay agreed with Dante that if you always see the road ahead of you, it is not worth the trip. (VOY: "Shattered")
