Victor is reading a narrative poem about the deeds of gods and heroes. in this work, the author makes long and involved comparisons. which figure of speech is the author using in the poem?

a.
simile

b.
epic simile

c.
direct metaphor

d.
personification

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The figure of speech that the author is using would be an epic simile. It is an extended simile often running to several lines, used typically in epic poetry to intensify the heroic stature of the subject and to serve as decoration. Hope this helps.
