''...And Odysseus took his time, turning the bwo, tapping it, every inch, for boring the termites might have made while the master of the weapon was abroad.'' This is an example of an epithet.

''He dropped his eyes and nodded, and the prince Telemachus, true son of King Odyseus, belted his sword on, clapped hand to his spear, and with a clink and glitter of keen bronze stood by his chair, in the fore front near his father.'' -I found two examples of literary elements in that state ment, foreshadowing and onomanopia(however its spelled.
''But the man skilled in all ways f contending, satisfied by the great bow's look and heft, like a harper, like a musician, when with quiet hand upon his instrument he draws between his thumb and forefinger a sweet new string upon a peg...'' -An example of a similie
''Telemachus, the stranger you welcomed in your hall has not disgraced you. I did not miss, neither did I take all day stringing the bow. My hand and eye are sound, not so contemptible as the young men say. The hour has come to cook their lordship's mutton-supper by daylight. Other amusements later, with song and harping that adorn a feast.'' -This is an example of how Odysseus is an epic hero because he expresses his confidence in victory over the suitors. It is also a good example of conflict between Odysseus and the suitors (Character v. Charcter)
