What is the metaphor of is an ox?

Answer 1

The question is illogical.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that says that one thing is another different thing. This allows us to use fewer words and forces the reader or listener to find the similarities, e.g. Time is money, the whole world is a stage.

Is an ox is not a metaphor, nor does it contain a metaphor. It is simply part of a sentence containing a verb, an indefinite article and a common noun.

Answer 2

The phrase "strong as an ox" is a metaphor that describes someone or something as powerful, resilient, and enduring, like the animal. Its usage implies a high level of physical strength or mental fortitude.
