All those who loathed their brothers during life, who beat their parents or caught clients in a web 610 of fraud, or sat on gold they’d just acquired, putting no part aside for family (the biggest group), or were murdered in adultery, or fought in civil wars, or broke faith with their masters— locked up, they wait for punishment.

This is like reading the Ten Commandments. Virgil's Hades is possibly worse than Homer's, but it indirectly points to a growing sense of morality. Though there's no hint of forgiveness. It sounds like, if you break one of these commandments, you're coming here. Aeneas would have sent Helen here, presumably, if he hadn't spared her (in some sources Menelaus also comes close to killing her in Troy). I'd like to see gold-hoarding dragons put here. But they'd probably just end up getting work as guards / tormenters / demons.
