The epic characteristics found in this excerpt from the Illiad by Homer are <em>epic simile and starting in media res</em>.

An epic simile is often known as Homeric simile, used in epic poetry. It is used to augment the heroic moment or level of a character or a situation.

In media res is a Latin sentence that means "in the middle of". It is used when the plot has a situation that is part of other events and will continue in further scenes. When this happens, previous events are included as flashbacks.

What figure of speech/poitic device is use in the poem below Clouds<br>​
igomit [66]

Answer:

There are many poetic devices in this poem which add to its effect. In the opening line, we see an example of internal rhyme, where two words within the same line—here "showers" and "flowers"—rhyme with each other. We see this technique repeated in later lines, such as "the flail of the lashing hail." On all occasions, this feature draws attention to the line and helps create a mental picture. Other sound devices in the poem include alliteration ("seas and the streams", "wield . . . whiten") and assonance ("laugh as I pass").

The speaker in this poem is the titular cloud; the personification of the cloud relates to the Romantic idea of pathetic fallacy, where the behavior of nature imitates or reflects the feelings of those who exist in nature. There are other examples of personification in the poem, such as when the "great pines groan aghast" as the wind sifts snow onto the mountains. An extended personification such as the one in this poem is a form of metaphor: the wind does not really have "wings," nor are the "sweet buds" "rocked to rest on their mother's breast." In the context of the poem, however, the whole of nature is imagined as if it had human attributes.

Repetition and anaphora are also used in this poem to emphasize the sheer reach of the cloud—"Over earth and ocean," "over the rills, and the crags," "over the lakes and the plains," the Cloud is moved by his "pilot," another metaphor which refers to God. The "pilot," so named because he has plotted the course for the cloud to follow, helps the cloud to move "wherever he dream," and naturally, because the pilot is God, the extent of those dreams has no end.
