The Divine Comedy uses classical references which Dante uses as disguises and interpretations in his inferno as an effective use of Roman and Greek paganism to link the myth to a medieval Christian view. Using classical references as a link to the epic brings the same perspective and approach that the Church used to attract more followers, as an appearance of values ​​and views on their cause. Using characters from the Comedy like Cerberus and the boatmen combined with found elements like the Styx and the Gorgons, you will find that there are many connections to classical literature and the characters found within it. While I believe that Dante chose classical sources for purely explanatory elements in his first canticle, it also seems to me that Dante chooses this reference as an important element in explaining the meaning and for a deeper interpretation of both the punishment and context in the circles of hell as a Roman myth style through his eyes. As the poet Dante journeys through Hell, you discover that the first great source of mythology looks through the veil past Limbo as Dante enters the sixth canto and finds himself at the paws of the Greek and the Roman. guardian of the underworld, Cerberus. While in the first examination of the Kerberos, Dante uses the dog as a lamenting explanation of the glutton, as the beast personifies the earth in which the dead are buried and his purpose as a devourer of corpses, but using the beast in an earlier circle of hell perhaps leaves another mythological meaning. In mythology, the hound is kept at the gates of Hades, or according to other stories, on the banks of Acheron, to prevent souls from escaping the clutches of hell. However, it is interesting to note how Dante uses examples such as the Ae...... middle of paper ...... finding is not easily defined in the Bible but like a well of fire, creates a world in which there is mechanical behavior in which sins are both accounted for and punished. Dante, with his classical tradition and his monsters, like Kerberos or the Furies, attempts to take the reader with him on his journey, while going well beyond his own Christian and Catholic tradition. Dante's choice of classical sources for such a reference is important in explaining the significance of Dante's journey and in showing a deeper interpretation of both the punishment and the context within the circles of hell. While I believe Dante used Roman and Greek mythology as a greater guide for his story, allegorically the poem significantly takes a more explanatory view of hell for those who have sinned and, due to its style under the form of the Roman myth, it creates greater worry and disquiet. teach her plot.
