Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.

Pentaur

They covered mountain and valley like grasshoppers for their number.

He dashed down among them as a sparrow-hawk dashes down.

The King is dreadful as the grim lion in the valley.

His heart is like a mountain of iron.

He stood ready for the battle like a bull that has whetted his horns.
