One of the most effectively used literary device in The Odyssey is the epic simile.

A simile is a figure of speech in which two unlike things or concepts, are shown to be similar, usually using "like" or "as". For example, her eyes were like the ocean.

An epic simile extends the comparison to expansive proportions.

The Odyssey is Homer's epic of a ten year struggle to return home to his wife, Penelope, after the Trojan Warn. In the Epic, Odysseus battles and faces the wrath of several gods and other mystical creatures. While he is battling for his life, Penelope and her son Telemachus are home dealing with a group of suitors that are trying to take Penelope's hand in marriage.

"When primal Dawn spread on the eastern sky
he fingers of pink light, Odysseus’s true son
stood up, drew on his tunic and his mantle,
slung on a sword- belt and a new edged sword,
tied his smooth feet into good rawhide sandals,
and left his room, a god’s brilliance upon him”
