Which excerpt from The Odyssey demonstrates the importance of loyalty in Greek society?

Answer
A
“O Father, all my life like your fameas a fighting man has echoed in my ears”

But when he knew he heardOdysseus’ voice nearby, he did his best to wag his tail
D
Odysseus only shook his head, containingthoughts of bloody work, as he walked on

Explanation

The excerpt about the dog recognizing Odysseus and trying to wag his tail shows loyalty. Despite Odysseus being away for many years, the dog remains attached to him and responds when he hears his voice. The other excerpts focus on fame, divine protection, or Odysseus’s thoughts of revenge, rather than a loyal bond.
