Jason, the mythical hero of Greek folklore is mention in this chapter, along with some infamous pimps of Dante's time. Chapter XVIII is a fine example reinforce two previous thesis I had brought up. Venedico Caccianemico and Alessio Interminei were both alive during Dante's time. Venedico was supposedly an Italian man who sold his sister to Maruis of Este to gain favors. This is just an assumuntion made by Dante and no real truth has been found about it. Also Alessio Interminei doesn't have any major history were he is spoken about. I'm just assuming Dante hated this guy. Like how many people during Dante's time was a pimp?!
Jason though, he was a hero to many Greeks. He was looked upon as Hercules was once. How come the Catholic's views differ from the Greeks? Hmm..
