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.

Why do you just type random things... :/
A simile is a phrase that uses the words "like" or "as" to compare two items. There are lots found in book! An example of a simile is "he ran as fast AS lightning"
