Epic Simile: "…its crackling roots blazed and hissed - as a blacksmith plunges a glowing ax or adze in an ice-cold bath and the metal screeches steam and its temper hardens - that’s the iron’s strength - so the eye of Cyclops sizzled round that stake.”
Commentary: Odysseus compares the sizzling sound of the Cyclops’ eye to that of sticking fire-hot metal in cold water

Answer:
Irony
Explanation:
There are several meanings of irony, some of which are the following:
- the use of words to express the opposite of what we actually mean. For example, if it's raining outside, we can say:<em> It's such nice weather today!</em>
- when the outcome of a situation is the opposite of what we would expect. This is called situational irony. A veterinarian helping other people's animals while harming his own dog would be an example of situational irony.
