Homeric simile , also called an epic simile or extended simile , is a detailed comparison in the form of a simile that is many lines in length. The word Homeric is based on the Greek author, Homer , who composed the two famous Greek epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey . Many authors continue to use this type of simile in their writings. The typical Homeric simile makes a comparison to some kind of event, in the form like a when it . The object of the comparison is usually something familiar to the audience, such as an animal or the weather. The Iliad , for instance, contains many such similes comparing fighting warriors to lions attacking wild boars or other prey. These similes serve to take the reader away from the battlefield for a brief while, into the world of Pre War peace and plenty. Often, they occur at a moment of high action or emotion, especially during a battle. In the words of Peter Jones, Homeric similes are miraculous, redirecting the reader s attention in the most unexpected ways and suffusing the poem with vividness, pathos and humor . They are also important, as it is through these similes that the narrator directly talks to the audience. Some, such as Professor G.P. Shipp, have argued that Homer s similes appear to be irregular in relation to the text, as if they were added later. ref Shipp, G.P. 2007 . Studies in the Language of Homer . Cambridge Cambridge University Press. ISBN 052103826X. ref On the other hand, William Clyde Scott, in his book The Oral Nature of the Homeric Simile , suggests that Homer s similes are original based on the similarities of the similes and their surrounding narrative text.

Orphan date February 2009 book fiction date December 2011 In the Homeric works humans indirectly control their destiny by their actions and decisions. Homer allows his heroic mortals to stand close to the gods. Characters communicate with their gods through prayers, in an act which merges the divine world of the epic creation with that of mankind. Gods usually hear, often react and sometimes grant human prayers in epic poetry. But Zeus does not bring to accomplishment all thoughts in men s minds Iliad, XVIII 328 , as Achilleus stresses in admitting humanity s restrained power. The Power of Prayer Homeric prayers, signaling moments at which the fictional characters face extreme threats, can and do determine the events of the plot. The prayers of the heroes seek specific tangible benefits from the gods expressing their belief that the gods superintend mortals, sympathize with them, become involved in human affairs, answer their prayers or deny their wishes. In literature an included prayer externalizes sentiments of panic or highlights pivotal moments in the narrative. Prayer becomes more than a mere verbal expression of one s wish it is a means to channel feelings, thoughts, energy, spiritual tension, a ritual which if performed as an act of honor or duty is powerful enough to change the course of the world of the epic creation with only constraint the mortal characters inevitable fatal end.
