Explanation:

The Ancient Greeks where strong people who established a great civilization which is studied and admired even till this present day.

The Greeks showed certain attitudes and admirable values which they lived their lives by.

Some of these values and attitudes are Bravery, Self control, Intelligence, Loyalty, Honour, Truth, Hospitality e.t.c.

The question above is about Odysseus and his men who after their trip to Troy, made a stop Ismarus, city of the Cicones. He and his men plundered and raided the land due to their greed. Despite the pleas of his men to return to the ship, Odysseus refused. Unknown to them the reinforced ranks of the Cicones were on their way, they got to where Odysseus and this men were and they turned on them and attacked. Odysseus and his crew finally escape, but Odysseus lost 72 of his men.

Odyssey's behavior in the story and question above was against Greek values or attitude because he lacked self control due to his greed and this clouded his judgement, hence he could not make sound decisions to leave the Island of Cicones and preserve or save his life and that of his men while he still had the chance before the reinforced ranks of Cicones attacked them.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
