Detailed explanation-1: -Summary: Canto IX Suddenly, Dante sees three Furies-creatures that are half woman, half serpent. They shriek and laugh when they notice Dante, and call for Medusa to come and turn him into stone. Virgil quickly covers Dante’s eyes so that he will not see Medusa’s head.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dante the character regards Virgil as his master, constantly swearing his admiration for, and trust in, him. Dante the poet, however, often makes use of Inferno to prove his own poetic greatness in comparison to the classical bards who preceded him-including Virgil, who lived more than a thousand years before Dante.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Canto 9 of Dante’s ‘Inferno’, Virgil and Dante face threats from the Furies and Medusa before finally entering the sixth circle of Hell in the city of Dis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Antaeus, who can speak, is probably unfettered because he was born after his brothers waged war against the gods. He is therefore able to lift Dante and Virgil and deposit them on the floor of the ninth and final circle of hell (Inf. 31.130-45).
