Answer:

Poseidon sends a wave towards Odysseus that is "hard as a windstorm blasting piles of dry parched chaff" (line 405). In this simile, the waves that toss Odysseus are again compared to a windstorm blowing about grain. The waves are so powerful that they make Odysseus seem as light as a handful of grain.Explanation: Hope this is helpful and may god bless you
