The correct answer should be
Jove's heavenly daughter stood confess'd to sight;
Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom,
Skill'd in the illustrious labours of the loom

Using like to compare something is a simile, which is why this should be one.

Answer: 1. Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom and 2. But this to me? who, like thyself, excel  In arts of counsel and dissembling well.

Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in the comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, it uses the words "like" or "as" to make the comparison. In the given excerpt from "The Odyssey" by Homer, there are two examples of simile, the first one is in the phrase "Jove's heavenly daughter stood confess'd to sight;  Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom,  Skill'd in the illustrious labours of the loom" it compares Jove's daughter with a fair virgin. And the second one is "But this to me? who, like thyself, excel  In arts of counsel and dissembling well" it compares the abilities of the speaker to the one of another person.
