Odysseus is known for being crafty, clever and ingenious. Nevertheless, at some points, his deceitful and clever manners brought him more trouble than good fortune. A good example is the moment that he and his crew are captured by the Cyclops, Polyphemus. Odysseus tells the Cyclops that his name is “nobody” so that, when the former blinds the latter, the Cyclops cries that “nobody” had blinded him. The other Cyclopes think him mad. Odysseus and his crew manage to escape, but Odysseus can´t restraint himself and reveals his real name. Polyphemus prays to his father, Poseidon, the god of the sea, to take revenge on Odysseus, setting forth a series of unfortunate events on Odysseus´ way back home.

Ganezh [65]

<em>The type of figurative language  represented by the use of the word Selma in the provided stanza is allusion. </em>

<em>Allusion </em>is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance, in this particular case  the 1965 civil rights march from Selma, Alabama, in which nonviolent protestors were attacked by police.  Allusions are just passing comments about which the writer expects the reader to possess enough knowledge to noticeits importance in a text.

<em>The use of such figurative language affects the last line of this particular stanza by providung a description</em>. Even though the descriptions referred to persons or things in allusions are not fully detailed, its use enables writers or poets to simplify complex ideas and emotions.
