	Analysis of Similes in the Illiad
		In Book Twelve we have Polypoetes and Leonteus, defending the gate of the wall to the Greek ships from the invasion of the Trojans.
		These two imposing characters "stood before the gates like two high oak trees upon the mountains, that tower from their wide-spreading roots, and year after year battle with wind and rain." This simile lends to the characters of the two, Polypoetes and Leonteus, along with the resolve of the Greeks at that time.
		The defenses are brought out to be as long-standing and strong as one of natures most formidable creations, as any Greek would know from the evidence of their existence in such an inhospitable condition as the mountains.

		But in the case of Homer, at least, Pope's versions will do that part of the work for you: "Astyalus by Polypoetes fell; Ulysses' spear Pidytes sent to hell; By Teucer's shaft brave Aretaon bled, And Nestor's son laid stern Ablerus dead.
		Great Agamemnon, leader of the brave, The mortal wound of rich Elatus gave, Who held in Pedasus his proud abode, And till'd the banks where silver Satnio flow'd.
