Usually it compares one complex action(rather than a simple quality or thing) with another: for example, the approach of an army with the onset of storm clouds. Sometimes called a Homeric simile after its frewuent use in Homer's epic poems, it was also used by Virgil, Milton, and others in their literary epics.
