Homeric Questions and On the Cave of the Nymphs

A flight. And it is called "dear to fear," because he who fears keeps company with flight. And beboliato signifies that the will has been damaged, but bebliato concerns the body.

Since we have mentioned the simile, consider the poet's usage here. For having used this simile when Agamemnon was suffering,
"As when a sharp pain seizes a woman in labor."
And in the response:
"As sharp pains entered the might of the son of Atreus."
Concerning the Cyclops, by force he transfers the elements of the simile and uses them:
Γ "The Cyclops was groaning, and with the pains of labor."
Further, the "labor" of the simile, and of the response the "pains." Again, having spoken about Hector's rush against the Greeks, "like a rolling stone from a rock,
which the winter torrent pushes over the ledge,"
he has made a similar presentation concerning Diomedes:

"For us this ruin rolls, the mighty Hector."
And "mighty" is appropriate for an inanimate rush. For he did not call him bold, nor helmet-shaker, by which he is accustomed to address him. Again, concerning Nestor, deliberating to which side he should lean, he says:
E "As when the great sea turns purple with a silent wave,
Foreseeing the swift paths of shrill winds,
In such a way it does not yet roll forward, nor to the other side,
Before some sure wind descends from Zeus."
Then concerning Agenor, having been urged by Apollo to withstand Achilles. But, being amazed at the sight of him, he was shaken by the name, "and much his heart surged as he went."
