 In "Divina Commedia", Dante and Virgil are caught up with Statius as they leave the Fifth Terrace (reserved for the avaricious and the prodigal) and enter the Sixth (reserved for the gluttonous).Statius' redemption is heard in Canto XX (the mountain trembles and the penitent souls cry out ""Gloria in excelsis Deo"") and he joins Dante and Virgil in Canto XXI.He then ascends Mount Purgatory with them and stays with Dante in the Earthly Paradise at the mountain's summit, after Virgil has returned to Limbo.
