Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in making a comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, this comparison is made using the words "like" and "as." In the given passage from "The Odyssey" we can see an example of simile in the phrase "Then a seaborne death soft as this hand of mist will come upon you..." this simile is comparing the death of Odysseus with a soft hand of mist, so this tells us that Oddysseus will have a gentle death.
