Answer:
The main idea of the paragraph is:
A. Many Greek towns held sporting events with similar games.
Explanation:
When writing a paragraph, we mention the main idea along the first lines and then develop and support that idea in the following lines. In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the author's main idea is expressed in the very first sentence, "The Panathenaic Games was only one of several great religious sporting events held in Greece." From that point on, the author mentions the other several games that were held in Greece. He/She does include minor facts such as the cities where they were held, who could participate, and what sort of differences there could be between them. But the main reason for mentioning all those games is to provide evidence and support to the main idea that the Panathenaic was only of several sporting events.
Since the line in the poem is not mention, and even the poem itself, here's a quick answer about the usage of metaphor and simile.

To introduce a list, the colon always follows a noun, not a verb.
Dear Cousin,
I agree with Paine when he said that the colonies need
independence from Great Britain. Our colonies have been striving well. We can
make our own naval fleet bigger than the British Navy. If we build our own, then
maybe we can grow and trade with other countries with much ease. We should not
depend on Britain, because we will never grow as a nation. Independence will
allow us to grow and prosper, much bigger than the country that has colonized
us.
Your cousin,
Tasker
