Image:Gustave Doré - Dante Alighieri - Inferno - Plate 10 (Canto III - Charon herds the sinners onto his boat).jpg herds the sinners onto his boat, smacking the stragglers with his oar, in Gustave Doré's illustration of Canto III of Dante's Divine Comedy]]
;Reason:Pretty much per below. Just thought one of Doré's big action scenes wouldn't go amiss. Typical of Doré's action scenes, it's quite complex and detailed - I believe he's here imitating the layout of Greek urns and the like - so it doesn't look as good in this small thumbnail.

- Support - wow... intense... yet funny. I think it's amusing to imagine Charon smacking naked dead people with an oar and shouting a lot. ;) Intothewoods29 (talk) 04:07, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
