Explanation:
Alliteration refers to the use of a particular letter of the alphabet in a string of words in a phrase. Jonathan Edwards who was a remarkable preacher at his time made extensive use of this figure of speech in his work, <em>Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God</em> to make important points which he wanted the reader to remember.
Alliteration is seen in the first phrase above where he explained that it was as a result of God's mercy that humans have not faced his fiery wrath. Letter<em> f</em> was used. In the second phrase, he explained that the strength of humans could not be matched with that of the least devil in hell. The <em>s</em> letter was used for alliteration.
It's the third one. Odysseus was trying to reassure Achilles and got rebuffed.
