A metaphor is a comparison between two things without using the words "like" or "as" (which would make it a simile). In this paragraph, the cyclops is compared to a large mountain. The effect of the metaphor is thus 1) to make a comparison and 2) to give the reader a visual image of the cyclops as a huge entity.

I believe the correct translation is: In the battle of Zama,
Hannibal was overcome by Roman armies and second Punic war was finished at last.
This sentence is refers to the historic Battle of Zama
(Tunis) at the end of the Punic war, the war between Carthage and Roman Empire.
Because the war was against Carthage to this war is also referred to
Carthaginian war or Hannibalic war as the army of Carthage was led by Hannibal,
so you may put that in your translation if you will. Also, words such as army and
overcame may be exchanged for troop or overwhelm. This sentence is whole
written in passive voice of perfect indicative.
