Final answer:
The quotation from the Iliad, "Then tall Hektor of the shining helm answered her: 'All these things are in my mind also, lady'", is an example of personification, as it attributes life-like qualities to Hector's helm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The quotation from the Iliad provided by the student contains an example of the rhetorical device known as personification. The specific line "Then tall Hektor of the shining helm answered her: 'All these things are in my mind also, lady'" does not showcase simile, metaphor, or hyperbole. None of the defining features of these devices such as explicit comparisons using 'like' or 'as' (simile), implicit comparisons saying one thing is another (metaphor), or exaggeration for effect (hyperbole) are present. However, if we consider other excerpts from the Iliad, Hector's helm is often described in a way that can suggest personification, acknowledging the possibility that the helm itself could shine as if it has its own quality of life, although this specific quote does not directly give such qualities to the helm.
