Read the excerpt from the odyssey.
but cyclops went on filling up his belly
with manflesh and great gulps of whey,
then lay down like a mast among his sheep.
what two unlike elements are being compared in this simile?
the cyclops and the mast of a ship
the cyclops’ belly and his sheep
manflesh and gulps of whey
a mast and a flock of sheep

the Cyclops and the mast of a ship

A paraphrase of the passage would be: The Cyclops kept eating Odysseus' men and drinking. Eventually he laid down like a mast with his sheep all around him. A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using like or as. The simile in this passage is "The Cyclops...lay down like a mast." The Cyclops is being compared to a mast showing that he laid down by falling over straight and not curling up.
