It is an epic simile. This is because the comparisons are "long and involved". The main difference between an epic simile (also known as Homeric simile) and an ordinary simile is than an epic simile is very detailed and can span over many lines. Where as a normal simile usually is contained within one or two lines.

Example of epic simile:

But swift Aias the son of Oïleus would not at all now take his stand apart from Telamonian Aias,
not even a little; but as two wine-coloured oxen straining
with even force drag the compacted plough through the fallow land,
and for both of them at the base of the horns the dense sweat gushes;
only the width of the polished yoke keeps a space between them
as they toil down the furrow till the share cuts the edge of the ploughland;
so these took their stand in battle, close to each other.

Normal simile:

As white as a ghost

Hope this helps !!

What concept from the Paradise Lost text does the creature directly note?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

d. Wherever Lucifer travels, Hell follows him

Explanation:

In the poem <em>Paradise Lost</em> by the author John Milton who narrates in a really detailed way the story of Adam and Eve in paradise, and the way in which Lucifer as a show of revenge against God causes them to lose their paradise land. In the poem, the author let the reader know that Lucifer, the character that represents all sins, is the one who prevails in the story, there is always hell when he appears. Lucifer convinced Eve to tempt Adam to taste the forbidden fruit, which causes the wrath of God who had forbidden such fruit. Lucifer appears in the poem as the hero of the story, according to the critics of many literature experts such as William Blake and Percy Bisshe, who believe that Lucifer saves the characters in the history of tyranny and injustice from heaven.
