Which of these excerpts from the iliad by homer uses an epic simile? good heaven! what active feats yon artist shows! what skilful divers are our phrygian foes! mark with what ease they sink into the sand! pity that all their practice is by land! . then rushing sudden on his prostrate prize, to spoil the carcase fierce patroclus flies: swift as a lion, terrible and bold, that sweeps the field, depopulates the fold; now flaming from the zenith, sol had driven his fervid orb through half the vault of heaven; while on each host with equal tempests fell the showering darts, and numbers sank to hell for lo! the god in dusky clouds enshrined, approaching dealt a staggering blow behind. the weighty shock his neck and shoulders feel; his eyes flash sparkles, his stunn’d senses reel

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades?
