Answer:

I hope this answer is correct

Explanation:

The Odyssey shows that the people of ancient Greece thought deities were anthropomorphic. The gods had human emotions and even argued during meetings. Homer wrote about the Greeks in a way that is consistent with other written history because he was describing a story that happened during his time period. The cultural values that are represented in Odysseus in reference to the gods is that The gods have all the authority. Everything is under their control. ALso, that every action they took was in the name of the gods and in honor of them. The Odyssey is a story dominated by the presence and influences of gods and goddesses, particularly Zeus, Poseidon and Athena. Ancient Greek culture was heavily influenced by mythology.The ancient Greeks implemented their values of loyalty, glory, intelligence and hospitality into everyday life. While these values may seem simple, they effectively shaped an entire civilization into a culture that is one of the most referenced in history.Homer's most important contribution to Greek culture was to provide a common set of values that enshrined the Greeks' own ideas about themselves. His poems provided a fixed model of heroism, nobility and the good life to which all Greeks, especially aristocrats, subscribed.
