In Canto 26, Dante and Virgil enter the eighth ditch of Maleborge, where the evil counselors dwell. But I'm wondering: What is Odysseus (Ulysses) doing in this circle? According to the poem, he's in here because of the Trojan Horse, which was used to deceive the Trojans during the Trojan War, but why has he been grouped with the evil counselors? Later in Canto 27, a religious figure named Guido da Montefeltro was damned for giving bad advice on how to conquer Palestrina, but I don't see the resemblance between him and Montefeltro, unless I'm forgetting something.
I commented on Sierra's and Jessica's.
He is grouped with the evil counselors due to the trick he and Diomedes plan to make on Achilles I believe.
