Based on Greek values and the story so far, which statement provides additional support for a prediction that Antinous will die?
Antinous wants to have pride, glory, fame, and reputation, and the easiest way for him to do so is to take over Odysseus’s kingdom. Antinous is defending his home, his cattle, and his food, and those who defend what is most important to them are willing to sacrifice their own lives. Antinous goes against the Greek values of hospitality and generosity, and those who go against Greek values tend to be punished in The Odyssey.
Antinous goes against the Greek values of hospitality and generosity, and those who go against Greek values tend to be punished in <em>The Odyssey</em>.
Explanation:
This is the prediction that is best supported by the story so far, as well as by Greek values. In <em>The Odyssey</em>, we can see that Greek values are represented quite often. Two of these values are hospitality and generosity. In general, those who express these values are rewarded, while those who disregard them are punished. It is likely that Antinous will be punished in the book, as he goes against values of hospitality and generosity.
