Detailed explanation-1: -That’s because Virgil was everything that Dante wanted to be. Although Virgil lived in Roman times, he was a fellow Italian with Dante. Virgil faced political turmoil. He addressed that turmoil in The Aeneid, one of the greatest epic poems of all time.
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: -During his teens, Dante demonstrated a keen interest in literature; he undertook an apprenticeship with Brunetto Latini, a celebrated poet and prose writer of vernacular Italian, and befriended the poet Guido Cavalcanti.
