in this excerpt from book 23 in  the odyssey, homer uses an epic simile to describe the bravery and fighting skills of ulysses. which line states the direct comparison? i saw it not (she cries), but heard alone, when death was busy, a loud dying groan; the damsel-train turn’d pale at every wound, immured we sate, and catch’d each passing sound; when death had seized her prey, thy son attends, and at his nod the damsel-train descends; there terrible in arms ulysses stood, and the dead suitors almost swam in blood: thy heart had leap’d the hero to survey, stern as the surly lion o’er his prey, glorious in gore, now with sulphereous firethe dome he purges, now the flame aspires; heap’d lie the dead without the palace walls—haste, daughter, haste, thy own ulysses calls! thy every wish the bounteous gods bestow; enjoy the present good, and former woe. ulysses lives, his vanquish’d foes to see; he lives to thy telemachus and thee!
