Which excerpt from the odyssey best shows that the ancient greeks greatly valued the idea of home?
my home is on the peaked sea-mark of ithaca
under mount neion's wind-blown robe of leaves,
in sight of other islands—dulichium,
same, wooded zacynthus—ithaca
being most lofty in that coastal sea,
and this new grief we bore with us to sea:
our precious lives we had, but not our friends.
no ship made sail next day until some shipmate
had raised a cry, three times, for each poor ghost
unfleshed by the cicones on that field.
they fell in, soon enough, with lotus-eaters,
who showed no will to do us harm, only
offering the sweet lotus to our friends—
but those who ate this honeyed plant, the lotus,
never cared to report, nor to return:
i drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,
tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest: ‘all hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the lotus, or you lose your hope of home.’

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.

sometimes we look at a photo and miss on important information because we don't know all the facts or don't have the complete story behind it. captions give viewers important and relevant information about the photo. most of the time we will look at the photo for a second time after reading the caption under the photo and then find something different or new about it. this visual trip is also known as a loop.

captions differ from descriptions because they're meant to be read by someone else while descriptions contain basic information that will anyone who is working with them.
