What is the simile that the author uses to describe to the audience what happened to the cyclops eye? Thanks

In this passage, Homer describes the scene in which Odysseus blinds the Cyclops. This is an extremely violent and descriptive scene. It is also an example of an extended simile. A simile is a direct comparison of two things through the use of descriptive words such as "like." In this case, we see a Homeric simile (named after Homer). This is a detailed simile that is many lines in length.

The passage describes the way a hot stake went through the Cyclops eye, and the noise that this made. Homer compares the action and the noise to the way a blacksmith might submerge a hot axhead or adz into cold water, releasing steam.
