Read the excerpt from the odyssey. now zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north a storm against the ships, and driving veils of squall moved down like night on land and sea. the bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind. we saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee: then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief, until a third dawn came with ringlets shining. what does this excerpt most suggest about the beliefs of the ancient greeks? they believed that nature’s strength was wholly uncontrollable. they believed that nature’s wrath could never be overcome. they believed that the gods were frequently unfair in their actions. they believed that the gods often punished people for acting badly.

They believed that the gods often punished people for acting badly.

Explanation:

It is common for Greeks to have believed that they were punished by the gods for angering them. In this paragraph, it states,

"Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north

a storm against the ships, and driving veils  

of squall moved down like night on land and sea.  

The bows went plunging at the gust; sails  

cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.

We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards..."

This excerpt unveils that the Greeks believe that Zeus was angry with them, creating a storm to "punish" the Greeks.

Thus, the correct answer would be the last one, "They believed that the gods often punished people for acting badly."

I hope this helps! :)

explanation:

hmm, sadly there is no dialogue. there is no place in the story where he is talking to anyone. it's more of just describing what he eats and where he sleeps. you have to become anne frank, give details of where you are, what other folks look like, how the environment is. have a little bit of dialogue tell of what people are specifically saying. anne frank talked about her entire household including the people, the objects, the lighting, the food they ate, and even the smell in the air. there has to be more to your diary entries, the whole story in its current state is only about peter van daan, the food, the sounds, and where he sleeps. also he seems to be writing only once a year yet more than that happened from day to day. for a friend, i can you write it out, if you want.
