What is the following an example of?
Achilles was still in full pursuit of Hector, as a hound chasing a fawn which he has started from
its covert on the mountains, and hunts through glade and thicket. The fawn may try to elude him
by crouching under cover of a bush, but he will scent her out and follow her up until he gets her
-even so there was no escape for Hector from the fleet son of Peleus. Whenever he made a set
to get near the Dardanian gates and under the walls, that his people might help him by
showering down weapons from above, Achilles would gain on him and head him back towards
the plain, keeping himself always on the city side.

This passage uses a simile (usage of ‘like’ or ‘as’ to compare something to another thing). In this case the lines “… as a hound chasing a fawn…” to “… but he will scent her out and follow her up until he gets her.” Compares Hector’s inability to escape Achilles to a fawn being hunted by a hound.
