The use of the epic simile in this excerpt readers understand that
the cyclops has eaten another bunch of odysseus’s men.
odysseus and his men are still trapped inside the cave.
the enormous stone is easily and routinely moved by the giant cyclops.
the cyclops takes his sheep out to pasture with him in the mornings.

being untruthful

eating too much

overstaying one's welcom

this is that correct answer.

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.
