I have read the passage in "The Contest" and I believe the following lines suggest that Emperor Nero was ruthless:
<span>“Quick, Policles, quick!” he cried. “My pony is tethered behind yonder grove. A grey he is, with red trappings. </span>Get you gone as hard as hoof will bear you, for if you are taken you will have no easy death.”
“No easy death! What mean you, Metas? Who is the fellow?”
<span>“Great Jupiter! did you not know? Where have you lived? <span>It is Nero the Emperor! Never would he pardon what you have said about his voice. </span>Quick, man, quick, or the guards will be at your heels!” - This was the conversation of Policles and his friend, Metas of Corinth</span>
Answer:
An allegory is a discursive and literary tool which seeks to use concrete figures, such as things, animals or people, to represent abstract figures. Thus, an image is given to what does not really have it, such as the image of horses running in a meadow that usually symbolizes freedom.
In turn, hyperbole is the exaggeration of certain sensations or events, to give the reader a greater dimension than it really is and that he becomes aware of the feelings of the author or character. An example is the phrase "smile from ear to ear" to represent happiness.
Another literary device is personification, where human characteristics are attributed to things or animals. An example are the phrases "misfortune pursues him" or fables where animals can speak.
Finally, symbolism seeks to represent concepts through the use of words or images that are indirectly related to it, such as the representation of sadness through the use of dark or opaque colors.
