Etymology
Lago d'Averno
The name Averno refers to Lake Avernus (Lago d'Averno) in the Avernus crate near Naples, that the Romans mythologized as the entrance to the underworld or hell.
The Path to Hell is Easy
Virgil (29-19 BCE). Aeneis, Book VI, lines 124-127 [5]
Talibus orabat dictis, arasque tenebat,
cum sic orsa loqui vates: "Sate sanguine divom,
Tros Anchisiade, facilis descensus Averno;
noctes atque dies patet atri ianua Ditis;"
loose translation by John Dryden, 1697
Then thus replied the prophetess divine:
"O goddess-born of great Anchises' line,
The gates of hell are open night and day;
Smooth the descent, and easy is the way
