"Phlegyas" by Damien Hirst is a large scale sculpture created in 2008 that references the mythological ferryman condemned to eternal punishment in Dante's Inferno. The work exemplifies Hirst's characteristic use of industrial materials and his engagement with classical themes, translating ancient literary narratives into contemporary visual language. The sculpture demonstrates Hirst's interest in exploring concepts of suffering, judgment, and the human condition through monumental form.
