Going to West Ithaca High School has taught me various things about the Greek Culture. The great hero, Odysseus, has also taught me many lessons through his example. The Odyssey teaches about hospitality, patience, and vengeance.
Being welcoming and a good host is important to the Greeks. Everyone should be welcome whether they are a boy or a girl or familiar or a stranger. When Odysseus wasn’t welcomed by Antinous because he was a beggar was considered very rude. In Greece, not only should the guest be welcomed, but they should also be provided with food and shelter. Odysseus’s own home had been taken over by suitors. These suitors were taking advantage of their hospitality and the fact that Penelope and Telemachus didn’t have the hearts
