Answer:

He is trying to placate Calypso so she will not make his journey more difficult.

Explanation:

Calypso is a goddess and she wants him to stay. So, he calls her by "Oh! Great goddess, don't be angry with me, please". He acknowledges what Calypso has said to be true (including regarding his wife) and even acknowledges Calypso's beauty as much greater, but he is a diplomat and, even though he isn't really lying, it isn't really an insult (to say that a goddess who will never age is more beautiful than an old/mortal woman). He just wants her to be less angry.

He does not really insult Penelope. Odysseus does not care for beauty.

Fudgin [204]

New arrivals at one retirement community were told by its director: ""you are like pilgrims crossing the ocean to take up a new life."" this simile implicitly supports the author’s assumption that those moving to retirement communities feel uncertainty on the wisdom of departing from the past.

Satisfaction at gaining parental independence. Relief at getting out of challenging circumstances. Optimism about being around people who share your objectives.

The terms "like" or "as" are used to compare two dissimilar objects in a simile, which is a sort of metaphor. A simile is used to assist describe one thing by comparing it to another that may seem unrelated at first.
