This writer of the Middle Ages was especially influenced by Virgil
A. Dante
Step-by-step explanation:
Dante was a rather classical writer who was majorly influenced by the epics of before.
In this, he was influenced by Virgil who had written the Aeneid which was the prime epic of the Romans.
This is something that had inspired Dante too and he had set out to write his own epic but this time it was in the christian fold and he had been in an attempt to explain his own times through it.
He used allusions to Virgil throughout his work.
