Canto XXXIV
"Vexilla regis prodeunt inferni(the banners of Hell's Monarch do come forth
Towards us) therefore look,” so spake my guide,
“If thou discern him..."
"Oh what a sight!
How passing strange it seem'd, when I did spy
Upon his head three faces: one in front
Of hue vermilion, th' other two with this
Midway each shoulder join'd and at the crest...
Under each shot forth
Two mighty wings, enormous as became
A bird so vast. Sails never such I saw
Outstretch'd on the wide sea...
At six eyes he wept: the tears
Adown three chins distill'd with bloody foam.
At every mouth his teeth a sinner champ'd
Bruis'd as with pond'rous engine, so that three
Were in this guise tormented...
“That upper spirit,
Who hath worse punishment,” so spake my guide,
“Is Judas, he that hath his head within
And plies the feet without. Of th' other two,
Whose heads are under, from the murky jaw
Who hangs, is Brutus: lo! how he doth writhe
And speaks not! Th' other Cassius, that appears
So large of limb...

Origami Dante's Satan, Created it in 2007
I spent almost a month working on it until I realized that I needed a really big sheet of paper to give the head a fine form (at least is the best i got, and please NOTE: those things in satan's mouth are not fangs, are Juda's legs). Sorry about the picture's quality.
