Question

Odysseus spends a lot of time talking about the very strong wine that Maron gave him. What kind of literary device is this?

Answer 1

The literary device used in this sentence is extended metaphor.

The phrase “spends a lot of time talking about the very strong wine” indicates that the words used to refer to the object are not literally applicable to the action performed. 

Answer 2

Actually, it would be foreshadowing. The hinting at the wine tells that he will be using the wine soon
