Read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. Read the passage describing the Greek and Trojan armies:

"Sudden as hungry wolves the kids purloin Or lambs, which haply some unheeding swain Hath left to roam at large the mountains wild; They, seeing, snatch them from beside the dams, And rend incontinent the feeble prey, So swift the Danaï the host assail'd Of Ilium; they, into tumultuous flight Together driven, all hope, all courage lost."

Identify the extended simile in this passage. How does it add meaning to the text? Support your response using evidence from the text.

Answer 1

The simile is “sudden as hungry wolves. It adds a relatable comparison. Everyone can relate to hungry wolves.

Answer 2

I think the extended simile is  "Sudden as hungry wolves the kids purloin Or lambs, which haply some unheeding swain Hath left to roam at large the mountains wild" that the soldiers are so overwhelmed with pride and honor and glory that they lose hope and they just fight and kill anything in thier path. I think it adds meaning to the text because the people who are going through this are so lost that they do whatever and dont care anymore.
