Read the excerpt from the odyssey. i shall not see on earth a place more dear, though i have been detained long by calypso, loveliest among goddesses, who held me in her smooth caves, to be her heart's delight, as circe of aeaea, the enchantress, desired me, and detained me in her hall. but in my heart i never gave consent. where shall a man find sweetness to surpass his own home and his parents? in far lands he shall not, though he find a house of gold. what does this excerpt most suggest about the values of the ancient greeks?

The excerpt of The Odyssey reflects the important role that family plays as a strong cultural value in ancient Greek culture.

Explanation:

For ancient Greeks, the family unit was the foundation of Greek society and played a very important role in their social, political and cultural landscape. Even in our days, for modern Greeks, family still plays a very important role on one's life. The cultural value of family remains strong throughout Greek history.

When the author says "Where shall a man find sweetness to surpass his own home and his parents?" he emphasizes the great value that he puts on his own family, rather than other lands or people.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

      however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.
