Which of these excerpts from the iliad by homer uses an epic simile? good heaven! what active feats yon artist shows! what skilful divers are our phrygian foes! mark with what ease they sink into the sand! pity that all their practice is by land! . then rushing sudden on his prostrate prize, to spoil the carcase fierce patroclus flies: swift as a lion, terrible and bold, that sweeps the field, depopulates the fold; . . now flaming from the zenith, sol had driven his fervid orb through half the vault of heaven; while on each host with equal tempests fell the showering darts, and numbers sank to hell . . for lo! the god in dusky clouds enshrined, approaching dealt a staggering blow behind. the weighty shock his neck and shoulders feel; his eyes flash sparkles, his stunn’d senses reel

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
