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.
Odysseus says that no place is dearer than home and asks where anyone could find something sweeter than home and parents. He says even a house of gold in a distant land cannot surpass them. This shows that the Greeks valued family.
