54 ; Mainardo P^ani, Inf., xxvii. 50) need no discussion.
144 Treatment of Nature in Dante The attributes usually applied to the wolf — fierceness, hunger, rapacity, cruelty — are fre- quently mentioned by Dante. As has already been remarked, it is probable that the poet had a personal acquaintance with these fierce beasts, and yet it is by no means a necessary inference from his use of them. All the phases of char- acter and habits he gives coincide with those we find in the Bible, Vergil, Bes...tiaries, and the Beast Epic. This is likewise true of the fox,^ whose sharpness was so universally appreciated in the Middle Ages, that a cycle of romances clustered about him as about Arthur and Charlemagne.^ The deer is mentioned but once, and that in a general, proverbial way.* Snakes naturally play an important r61e in a poem full of Christian symbolism. Dante un- doubtedly was influenced in his use of them by the Bible, Ovid, Lucan,* and Brunetto Latini.
' Cf. Pttrg., xiv. 53 ; ibid, xxxii.
