A. Home.Explanation: In the given excerpt from "The Oddysey" by Homer, we can see the description of "Odysseus' hall" as a beautiful place, that no one could mistake, the hall is described with pride. With the information presented in the excerpt we can see that it is an example of the value of home, that was very important to ancient Greek society, we can see this value very well represented in "The Oddysey" in which Oddyseus spent years trying to return home.

A. Home.In this excerpt, we can appreciate the importance that home had in ancient Greek society. The excerpt describes Odysseus' hall as a "beautiful place" and "unmistakable." The home receives praise throughout the text. Moreover, the tone of the speaker is one of relief, admiration and happiness to be home.

d. family ties In this excerpt Telemachus is showing a great deal of emotion when he sees his father. Telemachus does not remember his father since Odysseus left for war just after Telemachus was born. Telemachus has been hoping for his father's safe return and even went looking for his father at one point. These emotions from both father and son demonstrate the closeness of these men who've never even really had a relationship. It shows the importance that ancient Greek society puts on family ties.
