Epic+Simile14

// Similie: // // “The watch dogs, when they caught sight of Odysseus, faced him, a snarling troop, and pelted viciously after him. Like a tricky beggar he sat down plump and dropped his stick.” // // Explenation:  // // This happens at the beginning of Book XIV (14). Odysseus is approaching Eumaios when the guard dogs spot him and get ready to attack. This is the first time when they meet. This simile compares the guard dogs posture to a military troop. When they come after him the dogs are compared to pellets because of their manor of their posture. Then Odysseus is compared to a tricky beggar because he knows exactly what to do. //
