The comparison of children to birds is an example of a simile in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the term simile describes a comparison of two different people or things by way of the words "as," "like" or "than." The description fits the figurative language in the play's choral odes. For example, about halfway through the parados, the chorus likens new-born children dying to swooping birds.
