Read the excerpt from the odyssey.

then, throwing
his arms around this marvel of a father
telemachus began to weep. salt tears
rose from the wells of longing in both men,
and cries burst from both as keen and fluttering
as those of the great taloned hawk,
whose nestings farmers take before they fly

this excerpt is an example of which value important to ancient greek society?

a. hospitality
b. generosity
c. perseverance
d. family ties

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.

the answer that is correct is the last option.

the symbol of the grandfather's heritage in this excerpt from "the medicine bag,” is the beaded bolo tie.

a bolo tie is a cord fastened around the neck with an ornamental clasp which is worn as a necktie. they have been used by native american tribes such as hopi, navajo, zuni, and puebloans since the mid-20th century.

therefore, the fact that the grandfather is wearing a bolo tie refers to his heritage as native american.
