Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The Odyssey, by ancient Greek poet Homer, is the second part of The Iliad, and it tells the story of Odysseus trying to come back home after the War of Troy.

In the excerpt, the speaker describes Oddyseus' men using negative words as "mutinous" or "fool," also, he suggests that the actions were caused by not taking good care of their own situation. Rhetorical devices as simile (compare two things) are very important to persuade the reader (shambling like cattle) how difficult the situation was.

What is the figure of speech used in the expression drumming went wild
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

                                                ZEUS

Zeus in Greek mythology is regarded as the god of thunder and king of Mount Olympus. He is also the chief of other gods and assigned roles to them. He was greatly revered that even children not sired by him call him "Father" and other gods rise in his presence.

Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea. When he was born, his father sought to swallow him as he did to his other siblings to avert the prophecyv made that his child would overthrow him just as he did to his father Uranus. However, Rhea deceived Cronus and gave him a piece of rock disguised as a baby which Cronus swallowed.

When Zeus attained manhood, he made Cronus disgorge his swallowed siblings in reverse order by which they were swallowed. He also freed Cronus' brothers Hecatonchires and the Cyclopes who were locked away. As a token of their appreciation, they gave him thunder.

As a fulfillment of the prophecy, Zeus and the other titans overthrew Cronus in a battle known as the Titanomachy.
