"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”

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. ]]> 2017-02-24 15:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/heaa4/qnp9tv47c6d/wish/156039046 My Take heaa4 https://padlet.com/heaa4/qnp9tv47c6d/wish/156310921 Click Below to View "My Take" of the Odyssey. ]]> 2017-02-27 04:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/heaa4/qnp9tv47c6d/wish/156310921
