==Sinon in other literature==
In [[Dante Alighieri]]'s ''[[Divine Comedy]]'' poem ''[[Inferno (Dante)|Inferno]]'' (Canto 30), Sinon is seen in the Tenth Bolgia of [[Hell]]'s Circle of Fraud where, along with other Falsifiers of words, he is condemned to suffer a burning fever for all eternity. Sinon is here rather than the Evil Counselors Bolgia because his advice was false as well as evil.

The word "Sinonical" was coined by [[Lewes Lewknor]] in his 1595 work [https://books.google.com/books?id=Occ_AAAAcAAJ&dq=marshall+biron+Rozendale&pg=PA252 ''The Estate of English Fugitives''].
