In Dante Alighieri's Divina Commedia, Judecca is the fourth of the four circles/sections of Cocytus (the ninth and lowest circle of the underworld), and is where the traitors to masters and benefactors are sent to after death. It is named after Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve original disciples of Jesus of Nazareth in the Christian New Testament. Judas is known for the betrayal of Jesus to the Sanhedrin in exchange for thirty silver coins, and his name is often invoked to accuse someone of betrayal.
