Exegesis
The rhetorical question Τίς ὅμοιος τῷ θηρίῳ {Τίς ὅμοιος τῷ θηρίῳ | Tís hómoios tôi thēríō} echoes biblical hymnic formulas of incomparable greatness, here ironically applied to the beast.
In context — Revelation 13:4
And they worshiped the dragon , because he gave the authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?”
