Answer 1

Odysseus compares the sizzling sound of the Cyclops' eye to that of sticking fire-hot metal in cold water."They would put one cupful-ruby-colored, honey-smooth-in twenty more of water, but still the sweet scent hovered like a fume over the wine bowl. No man turned away when cups of this came round."This excerpt compares the scent of the honey-smooth frink is like the wine bowl that is around the fume. It emphasizes how well the drink is and compares the drink with the wine bowl.
