There were several occurrences of figurative language. At the very beginning of the poem, the line “We wear the mask that grins and lies” is an example of personification.
In this story, as it is told from the point of view of Odysseus, we get to experience the most adventurous and exciting side of it: we get to follow his battles against all kinds of creatures, Gods, and innumerable threats that the sea brings upon him.
If the tale was told fromthe point of view of Penelope (his wife), everything would change. The narration would be based around her longing for Odysseus' return<u>, </u>the struggles with her son, and a general emphasis on what was left behind making her suffer.
Hope this helps!
