While Horace does not rely on similes to the extent that Owen does, he does employ metaphors, both simple and extended. List two examples:

A. Extended: The ship in Horace's famous ship Ode continues to be identified with the ship of state, despite the serious problems with this interpretation demonstrated by Charles Mendell. The metaphor typically focuses on the ship's helmsmen. Furthermore, it depicts the ship is an inanimate object incapable of steering itself.

B. Simple: William S. Anderson suggested that Horace's ship symbolizes a woman in love.
