What are some similes in Book 5 of Homer's Odyssey? The Odyssey translated by Robert Fagles

There are several
similes in Book 5 of . In line 14 of Book 5, Athena says that Odysseus was
"as kindly as a father to his children" as a leader of Ithaca. Later, as Odysseus is
in a storm, his craft is tossed about in the following way: "Pell-mell the rollers tossed
her along down-current/wild as the north wind tossing thistle along the fields/at high
harvest" (lines 360-362). In this , the way in which the waves are tossing Odysseus's boat
is compared to the way in which grain is tossed in the wind. When Ino spies Odysseus in the
waves, "she broke from the waves like a shearwater on the wing" (line 371), or like a
bird in flight. Poseidon sends a wave towards Odysseus that is "hard as a windstorm
blasting piles of dry parched chaff" (line 405). In this simile, the waves that toss
Odysseus are again compared to a windstorm blowing about grain. The waves are so powerful that
they make Odysseus seem as light as a handful of grain.
