I would say In an ancient city
The men are insubordinate a few times. Their insubordination reflects unfavorably on Odysseus because not only can he not fully control his men, but also they do not fully trust him.
For example, the men believe Odysseus is hiding treasure and riches and open the bag of wind while Odysseus is sleeping -- which of course causes a huge problem. This proves that not only did they not obey his commands, they did not fully trust him.

Explanation:
A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are separated by only a comma. Looking at the sentences, the first one is fine because it is an independent clause followed by a dependent clause. The third sentence is really one independent clause with an appositive to describe the friend. The fourth sentence is just one independent clause. The second sentence though has two independent clauses. You can tell because in the first part of the sentence before the comma, there is a subject and verb; the second part also contains a subject and verb meaning they are not dependent on each other and therefore a comma splice.
