Answer:

The belief that Zeus and the other gods are supreme over all things and that helping strangers, extending hospitality to the guests was a popular belief in Greek custom which Odysseus is referring to in his speech.

Explanation:

Homer's epic "The Odyssey" is the story of the protagonist Odysseus and his journey back home to Ithaca after the Battle of Troy. The book contains the numerous obstacles and encounters he had during his journey back.

The given excerpt is from Book IX of the epic where Odysseus and his men had stolen food and sheep from the Cyclops Polyphemus. The Greeks believe in the custom of extending hospitality to their guests, even strangers. So, in this speech by Odysseus, he alluded to the <u>issue of hospitality where instead of extending help and service to the strangers</u> who had come to his home, he (Polyphemus) ate them and hurt them. This is the cultural value that is shown in the given excerpt.
