"Cyclops, if ever mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye: Laertes' son, whose home's on Ithaca!" (Book 9, line 416-419). This is an example of which type of Figurative Language?

Select ONE correct answer.

Select one or more:

a. Hyperbole

b. Metaphor

c. Epithet

d. Epic Simile

e. Alliteration

c. Epithet

Explanation:

In this text, we learn about the encounter between the Cyclops and Odysseus. As Odysseus is the one who wins, he is able to gloat, and he says his name in order to ensure that his reputation follows him. However, when he talks about himself, Odysseus refers to himself as "Odysseus, raider of cities." This is an example of an epithet. An epithet is a descriptive word or phrase that accompanies a name. Most of the time, this phrase is descriptive, and intended to provide more distinction to a name.
