Which excerpt from the odyssey demonstrate the importance of hospitality in greek society?
here is a poor man come, a wanderer,
driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone
in hall gave bits, to cram his bag—only
antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder
“suppose athena’s arm is over us, and zeus
her father’s, must i rack my brains for more? ”
“the cruel belly, can you hide its ache?
how many bitter days it brings! ”
odysseus only shook his head, containing
thoughts of bloody work, as he walked on,
then sat, and dropped his loaded bag again
upon the door sill.

I would say that the excerpt from The Odyssey that demonstrate the importance of hospitality in Greek society is this one at the beginning: "Here is a poor man come, a wanderer, driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone in hall gave bits, to cram his bag-only Antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder".

Explanation:

These lines show how people in Greek society react when they see a poor man, they share what they have, they try to help him. This is very clear in the excerpt when the speaker says: "everyone in hall gave bits, to cram his bag". People seem to care about this "wanderer", they have a solidary attitude towards him.

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.
