<span>The literary techique used here is a kenning.

A kenning is a miniature riddle that usually had two parts and was frequently hyphenated. An example of a kenning from Beowulf was "dread-loom." The Anglo-Saxons used this term to refer to God's plan, making a comparison beween weaving and the awe inspired by God's plan.

"Wolf-of-the-waves" is used here to describe Grendel's mother, a beast who lived underwater.</span>

Nesterboy [21]
I would say that "constant cry" and "Chesterton's cat" are the obvious ones. However "echoed in our ears" is a pretty subtle one that you can definitely make a solid argument for.

PLEASE HELP Which detail from The Odyssey best shows that Odysseus can be vain?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

C. He calls his name to the Cyclops even after his men beg him to

stay silent

Explanation:

The detail from the Odyssey that shows the pride and ability of Odysseus to be vain is the fact that he tells his real name to the Cyclops after they defeat him and sail away, he does that just to show off, and he puts his tripulation in danger because now the other cyclops will know who hurt their fellow cyclop friend and can look for revenge.
