Its not a simile because there is no "like" or "as"
It is not personification because you are not attributing human characteristics to an object.
Its either a hyperbole or a metaphor. I'm leaning towards metaphor, comparing the life of Eurydice to pattern woven on a loom.

It's metaphor: the comparison is being made between weaving on a loom that was destroyed and the destruction of Eurydice's life. Similes use "like" or "as," whereas metaphors are direct comparisons.

Yeah, it's really not any of them, it's a quote. But within it they do compare life to the weaving of cloth, and not in the way of a simile, which would be life is *as* or *like* the weaving of cloth, they are saying it *is* the weaving of cloth. However... this particular quote is taken from a story in which the fates are *actually* weaving the threads of life, so it's not really even a metaphor in the story. I dunno... if you have to choose one, choose metaphor.
