👉 In classical literature and philosophy, a "dantean" is a type of literary device that involves using a character's name in place of another character's name to create a sense of mystery or intrigue. This can be used to introduce a new character or setting, as well as to add depth and complexity to the narrative. Common examples include "The Dantes," "The Dante Reader" (in literature), and "The Dante Interpreter" (in philosophy).
