Just finished book 6. So interested in Vergil’s choice of animals in similes. Why compare Odysseus to a mountain lion about to strike the young girls when he means no harm?

Ch7. Great trickery/sly words on the Odysseus’ changing of story. Reminds me of Decameron, Alatiel and her cleverness to change her story
