"Its crackling roots blazed and hissed - as a blacksmith plunges a glowing ax or adze in an ice-cold bath and the metal screeches steam and its temper hardens - that's the iron's strength - so the eye of Cyclops sizzled round that stake." Odysseus compares the sizzling sound of the Cyclops' eye to that of sticking fire-hot metal in cold water."They would put one cupful-ruby-colored, honey-smooth-in twenty more of water, but still the sweet scent hovered like a fume over the wine bowl. No man turned away when cups of this came round."This excerpt compares the scent of the honey-smooth frink is like the wine bowl that is around the fume. It emphasizes how well the drink is and compares the drink with the wine bowl. "Straight forward they sprinted, lifted it, and ramned it deep in his crater eye, and I leaned on it turning it as a shipwright turns a drill in planking" This shows how Odysseus rammed the scorched olive tree in Polyphemus' eye.
