Odysseus’s men are compared to caught fish, showing their helplessness statement best explains the metaphor in this excerpt.
"I happened to glance aft at ship and oarsmen
and caught sight of their arms and legs, dangling
high overhead. Voices came down to me
in anguish, calling my name for the last time."
Odysseus is compared as a 'heartless malevolent person'.
