Claims

·Simile

Ulysses’s weeping is likened to a woman who embraces her dying husband, suffers enemy blows, is dragged into slavery and a life of labour and sorrow, and her beauty fades.

See evidence text

“a woman weeps when she throws herself on the body of her husband who has fallen before his own city and people, fighting bravely in defence of his home and children. She screams aloud and flings her arms about him as he lies gasping for breath and dying, but her enemies beat her from behind about the back and shoulders, and carry her off into slavery, to a life of labour and sorrow, and the beauty fades from her cheeks”
