The line "Tutankhamen is a drop of water in the ocean of history" contains a type of figurative language called metaphor, as is further explained below.

<h3>What is metaphor?</h3>
  • Metaphor is a type of figurative language.
  • It is used to compare different things, people, etc.
  • Metaphor does NOT rely on the words "like" or "as" for the comparison.
  • It states that "thing A is thing B" rather than "thing A is like thing B."

With the information above in mind, we can identify the use of metaphor in the line by Lewis. She states that Tutankhamen is a drop of water in the ocean of history, comparing the young pharaoh to a single drop of water.

Her purpose with such a comparison is to show that, in terms of all history, Tutankhamen's story is quite small, maybe even insignificant.

What type of myth is the myth of Horus and Seth?
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

A:I love winter, but it's currently bumming me out. I'm sick of the endless cold, my dry skin, the fact that I can't just let my hair gracefully air dry if I have to go anywhere within two hours after I've showered. Winter can bring a whole bunch of really fun and exciting things (mainly Christmas and the first snow fall) but it's also a bit of a drag. Sure, you can snuggle up with a cup of tea and read, or read some spine chilling stories in chilly weather, or even just read something to get through the winter blues (notice how all of my solutions are about reading?), but honestly, sometimes the best thing to do is go to bed praying that when you wake up, the temperature outside will be warmer than below freezing.

B:Horatius Cocles, Roman hero traditionally of the late 6th century BC but perhaps legendary, who first with two companions and finally alone defended the Sublician bridge (in Rome) against Lars Porsena and the entire Etruscan army, thereby giving the Romans time to cut down the bridge. He then threw himself into the Tiber to swim to the other shore. Versions differ as to whether he reached safety or was drowned. The myth possibly arose in explanation of an ancient statue of a crippled one-eyed man (cocles means “one-eyed”) in the nearby Temple of Vulcan. The ancients claimed this represented the wounded Cocles, but it may be a statue of the god Vulcan, who was both lame and traditionally associated with the Cyclops (One-Eyed). The story is first mentioned by the 2nd-century-BC Greek historian Polybius

C:In Māori mythology the primal couple Rangi and Papa (or Ranginui and Papatūānuku) appear in a creation myth explaining the origin of the world (though there are many different versions). In some South Island dialects, Rangi is called Raki or Rakinui.
