Reading this text, I understand that the poem describes a monster (Gerione),
whose body "is flecked with knots and roundels of such bright colours that
they exceed the phantasmagoria of the multicoloured drapes made by Turks
and Tartars <http://www.dantepoliglotta.it/en/premessa-14/>, *besides the
precious cloths woven by Arachne"*.
