Answer:

Epic simile is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The question refers to this excerpt:

"Then thus the king: “Shall I my prize resign

With tame content, and thou possess'd of thine?

Great as thou art, and like a god in fight,

Think not to rob me of a soldier's right.

At thy demand shall I restore the maid?

First let the just equivalent be paid;

Such as a king might ask; and let it be

A treasure worthy her, and worthy me."

The Iliad is an epic poem by Ancient Greek poet Homer and it is about the Battle of Troy. A simile is a rhetorical device used to explicitly compare two things; words like <em>as</em> or <em>like</em> are used to indicate this comparison. In the excerpt, the writer used this device in the third line, <em>Great as thou art, and like a god in fight</em>, so it is the correct answer.
