    mental disorder as their punishment. Dante describes all of their horrid and gruesome punishments with his clear imagery‚ as he does in most Cantos. However‚ what makes this Canto special is the numerous amount of references to Ancient Greek mythology and the many similes. Dante’s use of said similes and mythological stories represent how clearly he is able to describe things outside of his use of imagery alone‚ and it shows how much he was influenced by Virgil.
