If I was less shit at poetry I’d have good feedback. Feels like it lacks a point to drive at. Best I can glean is some comment on humanity’s tendency towards violence?

Just started a new one. Better concept I think. Aggressively Southern European fantasy with healthy late roman/carolingian overtones.

One point I was hoping for feedback on was this:
I want four characters in this story to be echoes of Dante’s 3 beasts from the beginning of Inferno (She Wolf, Lion, Leopard, and the Greyhound who drives out the wolf). I’ve got all but the leopard figured out. Any ideas for an interesting (ideally villainous) figure based on fraud and/or lust that hasn’t been done to death?
