not quite right--according to dante, after the ressurection, jesus went down to hell and took to heaven all the souls in limbo. limbo is for people who had lead exemplary lives, but did not accept the christian god. now the only ones in limbo are those who have died after christ's ressurection. plato and aristotle were no longer in limbo when dante went to visit, if i remember right--only virgil (who would have been alive after christ's death).
