Answer:

There is Hyperbole, Simile, Onomatopoeia, Metaphor, Irony, Personification, Imagery, Alliteration, and Oxymoron.

Explanation:

Homer uses Hyperbole when he states, " For each poor ghost unfleshed by the cicones on that field."

Homer uses Simile when he states, " But he, behind reset the stone as one would cap a quiver."

Homer uses Onomatopoeia when he states, " The cyclops bellowed and rock roared around him..."

Homer uses Metaphor when he states, "Odysseus is fated to escape his noose of pain."

Homer uses Irony when he describes Odysseus coming home as a beggar and trying to convince his wife it is him.

Homer uses Personification when he states, "We saw a cavern yawning above the water." (150)

Homer uses Imagery when he states, "Then he dismembered them and made his meal,  gaping and crunching like a mountain lion –  everything: innards, flesh, and marrow bones.  We cried aloud, lifting our hands to Zeus . . .  but Cyclops went on filling up his belly  with man flesh and great gulps of whey..."

Homer uses Alliteration when he states, " ...slabs of stone..." (150) or "...black blood..." or "... our fellow faces...".

Homer uses Oxymoron when he states, " {made from slabs of stone earth fast} between tall trunks of pines and rugged towering oaks." (150)
