The metaphor in the passage adds the following:<br /><br />- **A comparison between the Cyclops and a large landform**: The Cyclops is compared to "a shaggy mountain reared in solitude," emphasizing his immense size and solitary nature.<br /><br />- **A visual image of the Cyclops' size**: The metaphor helps create a vivid image of the Cyclops' enormous size, making him seem larger than life and almost like a natural feature of the landscape.
