Dante isn't like Homer, Virgil, or Milton, because his poem wasn't about heroes and wars and shit.

Precisely -- it was even worse, he built himself the ur-poetic cock cage of all cock cages in the Comedy and made an image of goddess of a woman. This happened among some of the most perfect lines in all of literature.
