Langston Hughes is translating his experience in an America where he, as a man of a darker skin color, has been treated as a second class citizen. He expresses the fact that he is hidden away in the forums of white people due to his color. he explains that he doesn't mind that he is being treated this way, because he knows that he is not totally banned from this society, and believes that if he works hard and slowly becomes ready, he will have his turn to an opportunity in America.

He is saying that his future, as a dark skinned brother, is so bright that he has to wear shades.

my experience is different because I belong to that white society that has been working to stifle the black population for all these years. I have so much more opportunities and "white privilege ".

From the above excerpt, it can be learned about the ancient Greeks that:

They believed the gluttony and disobedience are negative traits.

They believed that the gods punish people for acting badly.

They believed in the importance of strength in battle.

Odysseus tells about his men who ate the sheep and drank the wine until their stomach was full. After they were full the Cicones' army attacked them which was a consequence of the butcher nature of his men. Greeks had the idea that the punishment for gluttony and disobedience is sure to come. They believed that one should be brave and fearless while fighting in a battle. For them, the God was omniscient who rewarded or punished people of their dead.
