Virgil is hugely influential, I'm not saying he isn't. But he doesn't have the notability that Homer and Dante do. Even anyone who doesn't look much into the history of writers would easily know Homer and Dante. Both were very heavily taught in schools, or at least my school did. And I don't remember being taught about Virgil at all outside of his appearance and influence on Dante's Divine Comedy.
