Everything in hell is hot. Its completely fire, deadly. But why is that its only fire? Of course fire i.e, heat depicts the extremities of desert. And there are various sizes and methodologies in which a person who is a sinner will get punished. But why is there no ice? Or cold treatment? Punishments can be made using extreme coldness as well.
I think the concept of a fiery hell has more to do with the frequent volcanism in Mediterranean. Having no geologic understanding of what they were witnessing, they would be forced conclude that something VERY powerful and VERY hot was spewing from an unknown mythical realm below them.
