- A simile is a comparison made with the help of the words "like" or "as".
- In order to show how strong the Cyclops is, the narrator compares the way he lifts the big and heavy rock to capping a quiver.
- In other words, the narrator shows with that comparison (simile) that <u>lifting a heavy rock is something easy for the Cyclops to do</u>.
- That means the Cyclops is extremely strong.
