grant that Odysseus, raider of cities, never
see his home: Laertes' son, I mean,
who kept his hail on Ithaca. Should destiny
intend that he shall see his roof again
among his family in his father land,
far be that day, and dark the years between.
Let him lose all companions, and return
under strange sail to bitter days at home.'

As you may know, when parallelism exists in writing, what it means is that the sentences/clauses/phrases/words are similarly structured. For instance, for a list to be parallel, all words will be the same part of speech. Let’s look at an example. (Note the "ing" suffix.)
NOT PARALLEL
I like sleeping, to run, and laughing.
PARALLEL
I like sleeping, running, and laughing.
Beyond the word level, as noted, parallel structure can happen even at the sentence level. Thus, for sentences to be parallel, they will need to contain similar word patterns. Let’s look at the answer for this question:
Angel told me it was over.
She told me she is over me.
She told me to get over her.
Note how each sentence begins with a noun/pronoun, followed by “told me,” which is a verb then pronoun (or subject). It is this structure that makes these sentences parallel and helps to highlight the feeling/tone of sadness.
